Watercolor tattoo in Erfurt
Watercolor tattoos look as if someone had painted directly onto the skin with watercolours: soft gradients, deliberately bleeding edges and splashes of colour. Animals, flowers, feathers and abstract shapes look very light and lively as a result.
That also calls for honest information, and you'll always get it from me: pure watercolor without an outline loses sharpness faster over the years than other styles. That's why I usually combine the colours with a black framework of lines or shading. That way the lightness is kept and the design still holds.

Is Watercolor right for you?
- Skin type
- Watercolor looks best on light to medium skin, because delicate colours show most strongly there. On darker skin I work with stronger tones instead.
- Size
- Medium to large. Gradients need room, otherwise they just end up looking like a blot.
- Experience
- Fine as a first tattoo, as long as you're aware that colour generally needs more care and more consistent sun protection than black.
Good to know: The sun is the biggest enemy of any colour. If you wear watercolor, protect the spot consistently with sunscreen. Needing to refresh light tones after a few years is normal with this style and not botched work.
