Some traditions draw on Mayan motifs that carry cultural weight, while others are purely decorative. Before choosing a dot tattoo, decide whether your goal is texture or a symbol that "means something.

Watercolor tattoos use soft color gradients and flowing edges that mimic paint on paper. The technique avoids heavy outlines, letting colors blend naturally into the skin for a light, artistic appearance.

The inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
