Asian Tattoo Photo #22915

"Asian tattoo" is a very broad label. Asia includes many cultures and visual traditions, so the first step is choosing a specific direction-dragon themes, Chinese calligraphy, South Asian spiritual imagery, Southeast Asian ornamental geometry, or something tied to your own heritage.

By placing thousands of tiny dots at controlled spacing, dotwork artists achieve smooth gradients and intricate patterns. This labor-intensive method gives tattoos a unique texture that stands apart from traditional line-based work.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
