Flower Tattoos Mimic Watercolor Paintings On Skin

If you’ve ever gotten tattooed, you’ll know that most artists begin with a black outline. But this isn’t the case at Aro Tattoo, the Korean tattoo parlor that employs tattooist_silo. Silo uses soft colors devoid of black outlines to give the impression of watercolor paintings.

“I use watermark or very light ink (mixed with water). I do a very rough tattoo design sketch with it first then go into detail” Silo explained Bored Panda. Silo describes his unique tattoos as “stories”. “There are lots of stories around these tattoo ideas. People tell me what and why they want and I turn their stories into beautiful tattoos. I put my heart even into the smallest tattoos,” he told us.
