Lily Tattoo Photo #10947

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 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.
