10 Water Color Tattoos That Will Make You Reconsider Your Next Tattoo Design
In case you weren't sure what kind of tattoo you want, or if you desire something a bit more abstract than traditional lines, check out these gorgeous water color tattoos for some inspiration for how to express yourself.
1. This full chest piece of an owl looks as if someone painted right on this person. Consider this piece when you think of other traditional chest pieces, it is always good to have a different tattoo.
2. We have all seen the love cursive tattoo in black ink. This Love tattoo sets itself apart right away, the bleeding colors and the typography makes this tattoo one to consider. Not to mention the lovely lock which has so much more meaning when juxtaposed against the love tattoo. 
3. We have all seen a rose tattoo more than once in our lifetime, even the famous Ed Hardy uses roses as his main design. This rose is diffferent, notice the solid black lines and the loose sketch lines that compliment the darker ones. The beautiful reds and greens on not confined to the black lined areas, reminds of a a coloring book where we were encouraged to not be confined to color only in the lines. 
4. This abstract piece needs no description. The splats and watered-down effects looks like this piece belongs in a canvas in an art gallery. The colors are so vibrant against this person's skin that it looks like they just came out of art class.
5. Cats, Cats everywhere! This feline is different however, many different warm and colors were used to makes this piece come together almost as if an artist painted a portrait of their own pet.
6. This piece is almost a combination of number 4 and number 1. It holds the same abstract concept as number 4. The tattoo artist was able to capture the beauty of the water color brushstroke as well as number 1. The placment of this tattoo also accents its shape, the shoulder allows for the piece to become large and widespread on the top and also thin and long through the arm.
7.The back piece, one of the most loved and sought after spots for tattoo artists to flex their skills. This back piece is not like your average cherry blossom tree piece, it encapsulates the environment and landscape that also holds beauty within the scenery. This landscape looks as if it was taken from a fine art museum and placed right on this woman's back. 
8. Subtlety and simplicity can go a very long way when it comes to tattoo design. This piece dabbles in the pink and purple hues with an accent of blue for measure. The hard black lines along the spine give this piece a nice direction. 
9. The famous vitruvian man design by Leonardo Da Vinci is no stranger to the tattoo world, but this piece has a whole different take on this classic design. I am reminded of the left and right brain mind when looking at this piece. Our left brain computes structure and is very analytical whereas our right brain is the source for our creativity and passion and so forth. This vitruvian man piece is simlilar to that where the hard black lines are structured and concise and the watercolor comes in with no care for the lines or placent, the colors have a mind of their own. 
10. Fine art has a strong structure in the female anatomy. This piece encompasses the imperfections of the lines used to sculpt the female anatomy and the beauty that lies within. This piece has the classic red vs. blue concept where each color represents an opposing idea influencing the main middle piece.
