# Technicolor Watercolor Tattoos These Intricate Tattoo Designs Look Like Paintings Done on the Skin By M | Published 2015-09-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-design References: [boredpanda](http://www.boredpanda.com/watercolor-tattoo-art-ondrash-ondrej-konupcik/) & [ondrash](http://www.ondrash.com/index2.php) Ondrej Konupcik is a Czech artist that creates these breathtaking watercolor tattoo designs under the name ONDRASH. The illustrations boldly use ink and color to replicate the painting style directly onto the skin in a way that is so detailed and intricate. The end results are quite striking and showcase how tattooing is a very similar art form to painting. Konupcik grounds his work in the story behind the tattoo given to him by his clients. The technique is similar to watercolor but works a bit differently with blending and ink on the skin. Rather than using black outlines for figures and shapes, Konupcik uses bold colors with a blended and diluted style that gives the pieces a subtle ombre effect. Konupcik's detailed style requires that only one client a day can be taken on since the pieces require so much detail and attention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Watercolor Tattoos:** Tattoo artists can explore the watercolor technique to create unique designs that resemble paintings on the skin. - **Storytelling Tattoos:** Tattoo artists can incorporate the client's story as part of the design process, offering a personalized and meaningful experience. - **Single Client Daily Service:** Tattoo parlors can offer exclusive and detailed services by limiting the number of clients they attend daily. ### Who This Affects Most - **Tattoo Industry:** Tattoo artists can innovate by experimenting with different techniques and styles, providing unique tattoo experiences. - **Art Industry:** Traditional artists can expand their skills by learning tattoo techniques, providing a fresh and unconventional way to create art on the skin. - **Beauty Industry:** Beauty clinics can partner with tattoo artists to offer watercolor tattoos as a new form of body art and self-expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Online Tattoo Art Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackdot.md) - [Palm-Sized Tattoo Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-tattoo-device.md) - [Dainty Minimalist Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winterstone.md) - [Generative Art Tattoo Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackdot-1.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Interactive Tattoo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkstory.md) - [Custom Tattoo Design Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-tattoo-generator1.md) - [3D-Printed Colorful Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1.md) - [Custom Tattoo Designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-tattoo-generator2.md)
