Neon Tattoo Photo #4579

The contrast between light and shadow is what sells the effect on skin. A tight, consistent outline helps the glow read as intentional rather than fuzzy.

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 wrist offers a compact area that suits fine-line work, small symbols, and script. Its visibility means the tattoo becomes part of daily life, always in the wearer's line of sight.
