For acrylic use clear matte medium gloss makes it too shiny, for oil there are various varnishes for water color nothing.

Watercolor is permanent and you don't want it to be shiny. It can be framed with or without glass and saying you should use it because they sell it isn't an excuse. The tattoo industry sells a ton of shit there is no need for.

This is my watercolor teacher I have mentioned him before. He has won some crazy awards and has been in spectrum Illustrators magazine. He told me not to use it and his peers don't so you don't need it Stephen Player
