Sorry, but that's mainly just poor application. 

Thanks for the reply. Is this style just a bad idea in general or can someone experienced do it well so it lasts?

Most watercolor-type art doesn't generally last. There is no black outline, and the way the color is applied isn't built for the long term. A touchup would probably end up the same.

So if she wants to save it, would you recommend adding an outline to "keep the colour in" or just go for a solid colour?

Hi, not sure if this is a place to ask about this but I wanted to try.

A friend of mine had a tattoo done recently on her forearm, black line work flower with watercolour-esque colours. It looked great when it was fresh (as always) but as it healed it peeled off far more than what I would consider normal. The black is patchy, but mostly the pink/purple is faded so it's almost invisible. I wanted to ask whether this is just one of those things that can happen or if it could have a specific cause in how it was done or taken care of.

Thanks a lot in advance.
