Watercolor & Color Tattoos in Milton, FL | Chelsea Hughes

Color should belong to the artwork—and the person wearing it. Chelsea Hughes creates custom watercolor and full-color tattoos at Burnouts Garage Apparel & Tattoo in Milton, Florida. Her awards include watercolor and full color, and her wider portfolio spans illustrative, traditional, neo-traditional, floral, black-and-grey, and cover-up work.

Watercolor or full color: choosing your direction

Watercolor-inspired artwork can use flowing color, splashes, and soft transitions. Full-color work can take a more defined approach, with a clear palette and shapes built around your subject. Bring examples of what draws you in: the color relationships, the composition, or a particular detail. Chelsea can discuss how that direction fits your subject, placement, and available space.

Make the piece personal

Start with the idea that matters to you. It might be a floral composition, an illustrative subject, or an original design with traditional or neo-traditional influences. Share your must-have elements and anything you want to avoid. References are a starting point for the conversation; the goal is a piece designed around your project.

What to send before your consultation

  • Your subject and the story or details you want included.
  • The placement and approximate size.
  • Reference images and colors you like or dislike.
  • Your budget and general availability.
  • Photos of existing tattoos near the placement, if relevant.

Size, detail, placement, and the design all affect the quote and session plan. Ask Chelsea about the approach and preparation for your particular piece. A consultation request does not reserve an appointment.
