“Step Aside Black and White: Watercolor Ink Takes Center Stage in Tattoo Artistry

In the ever-evolving world of tattoos, watercolor ink emerges as the new gold standard, outshining traditional black and white designs. Leading the charge in this vibrant realm is Robson Carvalho, a gifted tattoo artist hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Carvalho’s artistic approach is a tapestry of descriptors—scrappy, liberated, watercolor-infused, and pastel-like. His tattoos exude the raw charm of sketches lifted directly from his personal sketchbooks, a testament to his free-form pen technique. Carvalho’s mastery creates an illusion as if he traded the conventional tattoo machine for a marker and brush, tracing each design with the whimsy of a doodle. The imperfections, where lines blur, colors fade, and ink splatters, contribute to the impeccable allure of his work, as if each piece were a carefully crafted accident.”
