Unlike a simple cross, the crucifix specifically depicts Christ on the cross, making it a more explicit statement of belief. For many people, this tattoo represents salvation, gratitude for grace, or a commitment to live according to spiritual values.

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.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
