Band Tattoo Photo #19379

Some people use band tattoos to mark a milestone or represent boundaries and strength. Others choose them purely for the aesthetic: strong lines that flow with the body and make the arm look structured.

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.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
