Whale Tattoo Photo #19392

There is something about a whale that makes people pause. Maybe it is the sheer size, or the way a forty-ton animal moves through the ocean with more grace than anything that large should have.

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 upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
