Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, the symbol reminds its wearer that harmony comes from accepting both sides rather than choosing one. What does a yin yang tattoo mean?

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 chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
