Beautiful Tattoos That Look More Like Watercolor Paintings

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a tattoo? Some people may think back to a time when they were only a few colors but more recently, they have used a wide variety of colors to create this type of body art.

Even though many colors have been used, the clear, crisp lines are a hallmark of this type of this type of artwork. Once you see the tattoos in this post, however, you may rethink the possibilities.

Silo is a Korean tattoo artist that uses beautiful, springtime colors and soft lines to create a rather unique look as far as tattoos are concerned. When you see them, you will swear they are not a tattoo but rather they look more like a watercolor painting. Here are a few of her tattoos for your enjoyment.

Of course, you are limited to only one animal!
