What is a Dotwork Tattoo?

Dotwork is a tattooing technique that uses a multitude of dots to create a design.

Images are composed of small distinct dots of ink placed precisely to create unique intricate tattoos with a striking visual effect

This will take your tattoo design from ordinary to extraordinary!

Dotwork adds a different dynamic to normal tattoo shading and color

Dotwork used for shading is called stippling and is a specific technique used to create a unique fading and contouring effect

The subtle shading creates an optical illusion

From far away dotwork tattoos seem to be shaded using the traditional swath of color until you look closely and see that it is actually comprised of a series of dots instead of solid color

The dotwork technique can be implemented into all kinds of different tattoo styles but is typically used to compliment mandalas and geometric designs

This trendy sought-after style can be combined with other tattoo design styles to create breathtaking pieces with unique appearance and appeal

The Ancient Egyptians and Dotwork Tattoos

The dotwork tattoo style can be dated back all the way to the days of the pyramids

Mummies of ancient Egyptian women have been discovered with dotted tattoos on their breasts, thighs, and abdomens

It is believed that these dotted tattoos were used to alleviate pain during pregnancy and childbirth

There is also evidence that indicates that they were periodically used by Egyptian priestesses as a form of protection or magical amulet engraved into the skin

Negative Space Dotwork Tattoos

Dotwork can be a unique way to create a stunning negative space tattoo

Negative space tattoos are a type of tattoo style where the design is done as a reverse image using the naked skin to create the design versus using ink

Negative space dotwork tattoos use the dotwork to form the border of the image and the design is formed by the naked skin

Geometric Dotwork Tattoos

Dotwork can put a unique and stunning twist on a typical geometric tattoo

One of the most popular geometric dotwork tattoos is the flower of life design

This design is created by overlapping evenly spaced circles that create a flower like pattern

This creates a hexagonal shape with six points

It can work great as a stand alone tattoo or focal point of a piece as well as being used for background or filler to fill empty space tying all the elements of a design together

This design is considered sacred geometry and represents the holy significance given to geometric shapes, ratios, and proportions found throughout nature

It is an ancient symbol for life and symbolizes growth both physically and spiritually

The flower of life is a deeply meaningful design said to be the pattern that all life is created from

Mandala Dotwork Tattoos

Mandala tattoos are another tattoo style that can benefit from the use of dotwork

Mandalas are an ancient art form with deep spiritual meaning

These symbols consist of geometric patterns combined together representing balance, perfection, and eternity
