Dotwork Tattoos

Images built entirely from individual dots. This technique offers unique shading textures and ages beautifully over time.

Dotwork means your tattoo is composed of a multitude of tiny dots. However, this is only noticeable up close. From a distance, the color areas appear completely realistic, including the shading.

Color areas? Isn't Dotwork supposed to be black and grey? Dotwork describes the drawing style in which the tattoo is executed. It can be black and grey, but it can also come in color. Geometric patterns, mandalas, ornaments — anything is possible. For the finest work, Dotwork artists set aside their machines and work by hand. This is true art!
