Name tattoos are deeply personal, so the design should match the relationship and the emotion you want to carry. A playful script feels different from elegant calligraphy; bold block letters feel different from delicate fine-line work.

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.
