Wondering if a watercolor tattoo is right for you? Before you commit to one of these colorful works of body art, it’s important to understand that watercolor tattoos are particularly prone to fading. Since they don’t have the black lines of traditional tattoos, the pigment tends to bleed overtime, causing the motifs to lose their shape and become a bit blurry. However, if done professionally and regularly retouched, your body art is more likely remain beautiful for years to come.
