Watercolor work involves the same inks and materials used for most tattoos, but it's the application that is different, according to Brooklyn-based artist Edwin Delarosa. This technique does require great attention to detail and skill since tattooists are "mimicking the textures that different mediums of paint create" on skin, she shares. "A watercolor tattoo is a tattoo using textures that replicate the aesthetic of watercolor or brushstroke paint," tattoo artist Melody Mitchell explains. You've probably seen these types of tattoos before, with swirls of vibrant colors that look like they could have been painted on a canvas rather than etched in someone's skin. Or peruse TikTok hashtags #watercolortattoo and #watercolortattoos, which have close to 20 million views combined. Just look to Instagram, where the hashtag #watercolortattoos has over 1.4 million posts. Move over, traditional black-ink body art, because watercolor tattoos have made a major splash - and if social media is any indication, the trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
