Thinking about getting a watercolour tattoo in Geelong? Well, aren’t you fancy! Whether you’re looking for something bold and beautiful or soft and subtle, the crew at Coastline Ink is here to make your tattoo dreams a reality. We're based in Portarlington – just a short drive from Geelong – and we live for creating absolute works of art on skin.

So, grab a cuppa (or a cheeky beer), settle in, and let’s chat about why watercolour tattoos are taking over the tattoo world – and why Coastline Ink should be your first stop for getting inked.

What Are Watercolour Tattoos?

Alright, picture this: instead of sharp, bold outlines, a watercolour tattoo looks like it was painted right onto your skin with a fine brush and splashes of vibrant colour. Think delicate gradients, soft fades, and those artsy splashes that scream, “I’m creative, but also chill about it.”

It’s not just a tattoo – it’s art. Whether it’s an abstract masterpiece, a floral design, or even your pet with a rainbow swirl behind it (we’ve done it all), watercolour tattoos are perfect for people who want something a little out of the ordinary.

Why Everyone in Geelong is Talking About Coastline Ink

Now, we could bang on about how great we are (and trust us, we’re bloody great), but let’s get to the good stuff: why Coastline Ink is the spot to get your watercolour tattoo near Geelong.

1. Our Artists Are Basically Wizards

Not to brag, but our tattoo artists know their way around a needle. Creating watercolour tattoos takes a steady hand and an artistic eye – and lucky for you, our crew has both. From soft blends to bold splashes, we’ve mastered the art of making your tattoo look like it was plucked straight out of a gallery.

2. We Design Just for You

Cookie-cutter tattoos? Not here, mate. We’re all about custom designs. Bring us your ideas – no matter how wild – and we’ll whip up a watercolour design that’s 100% you.

3. Relax, You’re in Safe Hands

We run a clean, professional studio that meets all the hygiene standards (because, ew, who wouldn’t?). But we’re also super chill, so you’ll feel like you’re hanging out with mates – just mates who happen to give you sick tattoos.

4. A Stone’s Throw from Geelong

Don’t let the fact we’re in Portarlington put you off – we’re basically Geelong’s favourite coastal tattoo studio. Plus, a quick drive to the coast never hurt anyone. (You can even grab some fish and chips on the way home to celebrate your new ink.)

Why Get a Watercolour Tattoo?

Still on the fence? Let us sweet-talk you a bit more. Here’s why watercolour tattoos are the vibe:

• They’re Unique: No two watercolour tattoos are the same. It’s literally art you wear forever.
• They’re Timeless: Watercolour designs have this dreamy, ethereal quality that never goes out of style.
• They’re Perfect for Every Personality: Love a splash of colour? Great. Prefer something more understated? That works too. Watercolour tattoos are super versatile, so you can go as bold or as subtle as you like.

How to Keep That Colour Poppin’

Look, watercolour tattoos are gorgeous, but like all tattoos, they need a bit of TLC to keep them looking fresh. Here’s how to keep your ink as vibrant as the day you got it:

- Moisturise, Baby – Dry skin is the enemy of tattoos. Keep your ink hydrated with a good, tattoo-friendly moisturiser.

- Stay Sun Smart – Sunscreen is your new best mate. UV rays can dull the colours over time, and we’re not about that life.

- Follow Our Aftercare Tips – We’ll give you all the aftercare advice you need (we’ve got your back). Just promise us you won’t go rogue and start scrubbing your new tat in the shower like it’s a dirty dish.

Common Questions (AKA Things We Hear All the Time)

1. “Do watercolour tattoos last?”
Of course! With proper care, your watercolour tattoo will stay stunning for years. The key is to keep your skin healthy and follow the aftercare tips we give you.

2. “Can you fix my old tattoo with a watercolour design?”
Absolutely. Whether you’re covering up an ex’s name or breathing new life into an older piece, we can add a splash of watercolour magic to bring it back to life.

3. “What if I have no idea what I want?”
No worries, mate! That’s what we’re here for. Chat with one of our artists, and we’ll help you come up with a design that you’ll love forever.
