Masks have fascinated humans for millennia because they sit at the intersection of identity and illusion, revealing as much as they conceal. As body art, a mask design raises questions about who we are underneath, who we perform as in public, and whether the difference between the two even matters.

Watercolor tattoos use soft color gradients and flowing edges that mimic paint on paper. The technique avoids heavy outlines, letting colors blend naturally into the skin for a light, artistic appearance.

The shoulder's rounded shape gives tattoos a natural frame, wrapping designs around the deltoid muscle. It's a versatile placement that transitions easily into a sleeve or back piece.
