Dotwork is a tattooing technique that uses dots to create a design. It is best for geometric shapes, but this method can also fill in gaps, replace shade, and add texture to a tattoo design.
Dot work is popular because it can be used to create very detailed designs and it can give a three-dimensional effect that other tattooing techniques cannot provide. It also gives you better control over the design and how it will look when completed.
Types of dot tattoos
There are several different types of dot tattoos. These include:
- Geometric : This is the most popular type of dot tattoo. They often have abstract designs and shapes such as triangles, circles, and hexagons.
- Mandala : these drawings are similar to geometric tattoos, but usually have a central focus such as a sun, moon, or flower.
- Portrait : These tattoos are becoming increasingly popular. They use dots to create a more realistic effect and can be used to tattoo images of people, animals or landscapes.
