17 Stunning Watercolor Tattoos You Have to See to Believe
They're the perfect combination of unique and feminine.
Some of the most impressive tattoos on the planet are done in this style, a mix of blended colors and blurred lines to create beautiful works of body art. If you're in the market for a new tattoo, don't miss these designs.
Surreal Sparrow
This striking bird tattooed on Savannah Peterson by artist Deanna Wardin features a dynamic blend of turquoise, magenta, tangerine and other colors that pop.
Flowing Fibonacci
The Fibonacci sequence definitely has an ink-cult following, but this version by artist Louise Flynn is unique in its color palette and style.
Colorful Camera
A simple camera outline by Kiss Kata is accented with a big splash of color, making it more eye-catching than the average wrist tattoo.
Vivid Balloons
This bold hot air balloon tattoo by Dino Nemec becomes even more impressive once you realize how seamlessly the balloons weave and overlap with one another.
Brilliant Blooms
As if torn from a botany book, this half-sleeve by Silo from Arotattoo is made up mostly of blended blossoms — but look a little closer and you'll notice an edgy skull in the mix.
Plum Prince
Commemorative tattoos don't need to be names or faces — they can be symbols too. In this case, Prince fan Laelonie Marie had tattoo artist April Hendrix Ballar accent her "Love Symbol" design with a watercolor background in (what else?) purple.
Wild Wolf
Part wild animal, part black-and-white skull, this spectacular design by Albert Mazowiecki is a watercolor masterpiece.
Bitten Lips
For makeup lovers, this tattoo of a multicolored pout by Michele Mercuri is a bold way to celebrate a love of all things beauty.
Cherry Blossoms
Splashes of cobalt, magenta and coral transform a simple concept — long flowers with a hummingbird — into an awe-inspiring half-sleeve by tattoo pro Łukasz Bejt.
Grapes of Wrath
For Jody, who works at a winery, this watercolor design by Jhon Gutti, which features a stunning bunch of purple grapes with sweeping green leaves, was the perfect tattoo for her back.
Spinal Stem
This rainbow flower by Ondrash is so pretty, you almost don't notice the best part: a small bunch of petals that have "landed" on her left wrist.
Branching Out
Another stunning Dino Nemec design, this tattoo features a tree figure kneeling as a blend of ivy, jade and pear colors make up its "leaves."
Shoulder Blooms
It takes a seriously skilled hand to create such delicate flowers, but that's exactly what tattoo artist Silo from Arotattoo has done with this lavender, lilac and violet design.
Lit Up Lens
Another option for photography lovers: transforming a camera lens into a work of watercolor art, the way artist Felipe Mello did here.
Words of Wisdom
If Peter Pan's favorite phrase is your personal mantra, you may want to take inspiration from this fun Disney design by Jackie Huertas.
Beautiful Buffalo
This bold buffalo head by Jorell Elie combines remarkable artistry, graceful lines and so many different eye-catching colors, making it a one-of-a-kind half-sleeve.
Fly Away
This blue-and-red "birds of a feather" interpretation by tattoo artist Geoff at Special Effects Tattooing offers a totally different way to wear these beloved symbols.
Sam's enthusiasm for makeup is only rivaled by their love of all things relating to cats. In their spare time, they enjoy watching scary movies, putting avocado on everything, and seeing how many shades of the rainbow they can dye their hair before 30.
