This shoulder tattoo has the fairy depicted like a waif wandering disconsolately through a relationship breakup. The concept is clear but the technical application needs work, as the right wing shape seems odd and the white highlight shading isn’t strong enough to counter the flat black of the fairy‘s dress.

This vibrant, almost anime watercolor Tinker Bell tattoo art is astonishing. The artist’s ability to draw maximum color from the ink and surround cleanly effective lines and squiggles take it to another level. The wings are boss-level cool, built with a haystack technical effect of wild straight lines fuzzed with vivid pink.

Is this a succubus or a fairy? Either way, sticking her in the top of a bottle of poison seems excessive. This fairy tattoo is a good depiction of American Traditional style; the colors are muted but well crafted and the image is weird enough to bring back the good old days of alienation and rebellion.

I’m here for fairy godmothers dive bombing in formation on a wrist tattoo. The subject is a big Disney fan, and the piece jibes excellently with the background castle and charm bracelet. The three fairies are inscribed strongly, using clean linework and their trademark colors to craft the ink. Their flying shape is the coolest part of the tattoo. My only issue with it is the very faint trail of yellow ink used to depict the Fairy Godmother‘s magic. It needs a touch-up at the very least and maybe a strengthening line added to bring the effect through with more clarity.

I love the vibrant watercolor effects of this beautiful fairy art. They look like small paintball explosions on the skin, mixing brightly to create an outstanding backfill for the more subtle, understated butterfly-winged fairy central to the tattoo idea. It’s a classy concept and a strikingly well-delivered piece of body art.
