When you think of tattoos, what do you usually imagine? Is it the old school black and white or greyscale tattoos? [post_ads]Or you do think of the traditional tattoos that are quite colorful but always stay within the lines? Or perhaps you think of silly tattoos of cartoon characters, or maybe your mind immediately jumps to images of Chinese dragons. The point is, there are a lot of tattoo styles, but most of them do require harsh lines. But there’s a style of tattoos that doesn’t – watercolor tattoos. These tattoos look much softer and, as the name suggests, they look like they’ve just been painted on by watercolors. So let’s take a look at some amazing examples of watercolor tattoos.

Watercolor tattoos are great at filling in backgrounds and making the tattoo stand out. You can probably easily imagine both of these tattoos as just black, only the outlines, and they’d still look cool, but the watercolor background certainly adds some flair.
