Everything about watercolour tattoos has already been said, but if someone presented artwork like this to me, in actual watercolour, on paper, I'd laugh at them because they couldn't even get the colour within the lines.

You can use watercolour to convey like, colour and depth you know!

Like as a style?

I think watercolor tattoos are kind of fascinating because technically and stylistically they're pretty drat cutting edge, but the actual content of them is largely the kind of photoshop kitsch you usually see accompanying inspirational quotes on Facebook. It's like playing Firework on a Stradivarius.

Prime example:

There is nothing technically cutting edge about being sloppy, and cutting out all of the actual technique that makes a tattoo last longer than a few months.

Unless being technically garbage is being cutting edge.

Technically as in technology. While other styles benefit from what you can do with the newer inks, watercolor tattoos wouldn't exist without it. And dropping outlines has gone from lazy to deliberate stylistic choice at this point, even if it's a dumb one in the long run.

You can stomp your feet and huff that they're stupid and won't last and yadda yadda, but my point still stands that watercolor tattoos embody what's new and changing in the art of tattoo. They are entirely dependent on the best technology in color and application, as well as a deliberate change in technique from traditional methods. That's cutting edge, even if it's not necessarily good or guaranteed to stick around for a long time.

Nah, not really. New and changing are the new art styles that people are coming up with, e.g. new school(Kelly Doty), Psycho Trad(Geary Morrill plug cause :swoon:) and other stylistic newcomers, like the hardcore stippling that Ildo does(https://www.instagram.com/ildo_tattoo/).

Watercolour tattoos have been around for awhile now, I certainly wouldn't classify them as "cutting edge."

Even with flash it's not okay to just copy something you've found on IG. Artists generally sell flash sheets.

Right, I meant it's okay for the original shop to copy it onto you, not for some other shop to just steal it.

Isn't Kelly Doty a goon (was?) or was that someone else? That style is hauntingly familiar. I know we had a couple of really good artists in the good tattoo thread that I can't find anymore, including someone who was related to one of the big names. Years have dulled my memory, sorry.

Line work looks good, shading is good. Most of the more intricate detail and those balloons are going to fade but that's true of any really detailed tat. It should still look fine.

We're more intrigued by why you would go to so much detail on the croc/bear/thingy then absolutely call in the balloons. Its like the creature was done by an artist and the baloons by an 8yr old.
