One of the popular tattoo trends of 2016 that will most likely continue into 2017 is watercolor tattoos. They are becoming popular as they look really beautiful and amazing. Watercolor tattoos have only been in style for about five years and involve drastically different techniques than traditional tattoos.

A real concern about watercolor tattoos is whether the ink of the tattoo will last, considering that there is no real pattern to the ink, no defined lines and the shading of a watercolor tattoo is comparatively lighter than a classic tattoo, which gives an impression that the tattoo gets faded with the passage of time. The person who chooses the watercolor tattoos is all about marching to the beat of their own drum, they like to think outside the box, and they have a personality that loves attention. With pros and cons, watercolor tattoos are beautiful, unique and permanent pieces of body art.
Because watercolor tattoos use less-saturated ink than traditional tattoos, they are likely to fade more quickly. Also watercolor tattoos do not have the thick, black lines meant to separate color, they are more prone to bleeding over time. It is true that watercolor tattoos with little to no black, and all soft colors will probably fade much quicker than a traditional tattoo, but here is the kicker… watercolor tattoos can and should use high contrast and a black base.
Though there is a possibility of having a touch up once the tattoo fades, the touch up process may fail. Therefore, traditional tattoos with the black shading will last longer only because of the saturation of the ink, but even those need touching up 20,30, or more years from now.
All tattoos will fade over time and may require touch-ups in order to look their best. With watercolor tattoos, you may need more frequent touch-ups than you would with traditional tattoos. In this post, we have collected 51 beautiful watercolor tattoo designs for fashionable women & men.
