Moon Tattoo Photo #1747

The moon is one of the most universally recognized symbols in human culture, representing cycles, mystery, feminine energy, and the constant presence of change. Its appeal in body art comes from both its visual beauty and its ability to carry deeply personal meaning without needing explanation.

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.
