Some people choose specific verses-often displayed as a decorative scroll-that mark a turning point in their life. Others use symbolic imagery-crosses, doves, fish symbols, or hands in prayer-to represent their beliefs without explicit text.

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.
