Sheep Tattoo Photo #9859

From biblical lamb symbolism to the rebellious black sheep, the animal adapts to both sweet and subversive interpretations. The woolly texture and expressive face give artists plenty of room to create distinctive, character-driven pieces.

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.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
