Forget about black and white tattoos; watercolor ink has become the new gold standard in the tattoo industry.
Robson Carvalho, a talented tattoo artist based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, embodies this shift. His artistic approach is characterized by a myriad of descriptive words such as scrappy, free, watercolor-infused, and pastel-like. Carvalho’s tattoos exude the essence of his sketchbook pages, often appearing as if lifted directly from his artistic musings. His mastery lies in capturing the spontaneous pen strokes, creating an illusion that he used a marker and brush rather than a traditional tattoo machine. The beauty of his work lies in its imperfections – lines fade, colors blend, and ink splatters, akin to the unpredictability of a pen slipping on paper.
