We Love Watercolor Animal Tattoos

Nothing shows the colorful, vivid nature of our animal kingdom like inventive watercolor tattoos!

Nature tattoos lend themselves perfectly to the watercolor tattoo technique.

For any tattoo intended to represent nature – something transient, ever-changing, living and breathing, the calm and flowing style of watercolor can be the perfect technique for evoking these themes and ideas.

Horses, birds, sea-creatures, large mammals… there’s no animal that can’t be captured effectively in a watercolor tattoo. Now, let’s check out these lively animals.
