Flag Tattoo Photo #22467

A flag tattoo usually works best when it stands for something specific in your life: where you come from, what you support, a place you lived, a team you follow, or a value you want to carry with you. Before choosing a design, decide whether you want a clear, recognizable flag or a more personal interpretation that only you understand.

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.
