Inspired by 1940s and 1950s burlesque fashion, these designs recreate the look of thigh-high hosiery complete with garter belts, seams, lace tops, and bow accents. The result is a bold body-art statement that blends vintage glamour with tattoo craftsmanship.

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.
