Any design can really be done in a geometric style, says Dana Shasho of Gida Tattoo in Tel Aviv, Israel-as long as you consider its composition. In modern geometric tattoos, however, aesthetics play a major part, as they help to make sure the design doesn’t just end up looking clunky or unbalanced.
ALL 4 ELEMENTS TATTOO SKIN
The style can be achieved with black and shades of grey just as well as it can be with pastel or vivid colors the key is to have a thorough understanding of the underlying skin tone and how the colors mix tattoos are inspired by tribal tattoos of many cultures, including Maori, Polynesian, and Thai. “If a particular watercolor tattoo would include the color red, I will typically use at least five different red tones, from dark red to light red, in order to create a watercolor effect,” says Christiansen.Īlthough a large color gradient is one element of a successful watercolor tattoo, Christiansen says that the real way to create a good-looking and lasting watercolor tattoo is the contrast, not the color choice. The same needles and depth are used, notes Christiansen, but the design employs a wider range of ink colors to create a fading gradient effect. A common misconception is that less ink is used than in traditional designs, but the opposite is the case. The watercolor effect is achieved by using the same general techniques as any other tattoo style, says tattoo artist Britta Christiansen. From ink with bold lines and abstract patterns to tattoos with a soft look and pastel color palette, any image looks good in a watercolor style they can even work as cover-up tattoos because of their fluid look and the need to fill up space. Tattoos are designs done in a way that mimics the look and fluidity of a watercolor painting with pigment.
