So today is the day that I hang my show at the
Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild...in fact, at the time that this post goes up, I will probably be heading over there to do exactly that! If you're in the Tucson area, come see it, I'll be up through mid-October there! (And in September, probably changing out some paintings for new ones too)
In honor of that exhibition, here's a watercolor-themed Inspired Monday:

...watercolor tattoos!
I really love this style of tattooing, and it's become quite popular lately. Although I have three tattoos, I don't have any quite like this...

After looking at these pictures, though, I kind of want one of these. And it would be especially meaningful for me since I actually am a watercolorist, it wouldn't just be for the aesthetic value. (Although it would be for aesthetics too...and not that there's anything wrong with getting tattoos that are more aesthetic than meaningful, either.)
I don't know how they capture the fragility and deftness of watercolor brushstrokes in the very, very different medium of tattooing...but man, do they ever do a good job of it.
I love these abstract ones too...hey, maybe I should get my watercolor palette as a tattoo! (Kidding, Mom, if you're reading this!) (Probably.)
What style of tattoos do you like? Any art-related tattoos that you'd get? Discuss in the comments below!
