Why people choose garter tattoos A garter tattoo is often chosen for its aesthetic appeal, confidence boost, and personal style statement. The design wraps around the upper thigh like an ornamental band, creating a bold or delicate look depending on the style.

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 collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
