I personally use the whip shading technique with gradual layering to get those smooth blends. This method gives me a lot of control over the transition of colors. I start by layering the lightest colors first and then slowly build up the intensity with other layers. Taking my time with each layer really helps achieve that flawless watercolor look. Hope this helps :)

I usually like to start light and build up the color slowly, kind of like painting on a canvas. Slowing down my needle speed and using a curved magnum needle really helps with those soft transitions. I actually learned this technique in Bryan’s workshop last year in August at Aliens School. Now that LILA is having a webinar on watercolor tattoos with Bryan again, I think it will be a good space for u to learn some good techniques. He’s got awesome tips that’ve made a big difference in my work.
