Celebrity Tattoo Photo #3203

Use famous tattoos as starting points: notice what styles appeal to you, what placements work for different body types, and how simple or complex designs translate on skin. Then work with your artist to create something personal.

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.
