Keyhole Tattoo Photo #13411

The image suggests curiosity and the idea that something important is hidden just out of view. These designs are flexible and can be minimal or richly decorative.

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 collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
