The style has roots in Japanese irezumi bodysuits and modern chest-panel compositions. Planning a shirt tattoo requires careful thought about symmetry, session count, and long-term coherence.

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.
