Griffin symbolism in mythology The griffin is a mythical creature combining the body of a lion with the head and wings of an eagle. It represents power, protection, and vigilance-the lion's strength paired with the eagle's keen vision.

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 chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
