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.

Sketch-style tattoos replicate the look of pencil or pen drawings, often including visible construction lines and loose strokes. The intentionally unfinished quality gives the design an artistic, work-in-progress feel.

The back provides the largest continuous canvas on the body, ideal for detailed scenes and large-scale compositions. Upper back pieces are easy to conceal, while full-back tattoos make a dramatic statement.
