Dot Work

Layered patterns of dots create soft texture, depth and ornamental detail.

Dot work tattoos are created using patterns of dots instead of solid lines or conventional shading. By varying density and spacing, the technique builds texture, depth and tonal contrast, making it especially suited to geometric, ornamental, botanical and illustrative designs with a soft, detailed visual effect.
