Lily Tattoo Photo #10931

Different lily species carry distinct meanings, so the flower choice matters as much as the style. These tattoos can be soft and delicate or bold and graphic depending on the linework.

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.
