Cat tattoo — Photo 7 of 50

In various cultures, cats represent luck (good or bad), intuition, femininity, and the boundary between worlds. The meaning of your cat tattoo depends on the style, pose, and personal story you bring to it.

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.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
