Specializing in Watercolor Tattoos
In the context of painting, watercolor is a term used to describe the application of water-based paints to create luminous and semi-transparent imagery on paper or other type of parchment. There are two types of techniques employed in watercolor, including wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry. The wet-on-wet technique is as it sounds, an action in which the painter applies wet paint to a wet surface which makes the colors run together. Meanwhile, the wet-on-dry technique is when wet paint is applied to dry parchment. Under the latter the colors don’t run together, but they maintain soft brushed edges are not constrained by defined lines and borders.
In tattooing, each watercolor technique can be applied to skin and when done right the result is truly lustrous. It can be completed as an abstract, but it is most eye-catching when done to highlight a fine line, sketch-style, and/or a moderately-minimalist tattoo. Despite the potential for an incredible aesthetic, it is a highly specialized style that few local Vancouver area studios can do much less claim specialization in.
