Questions, answered.
What makes a dotwork tattoo distinctive?
Tonal depth built from carefully spaced dots. It uses fine guiding contours and stippled dots varying in density, never grey washes.
Which subjects suit dotwork designs?
Try luna moth, pine cone or mountain lake. Keep the subject original and describe one clear focal point.
How much space should I allow for dotwork?
The starting recommendation is 8 cm. Smaller requests remain available, but details are simplified and your artist should assess actual spacing.
Can I use color in a dotwork concept?
This preset is designed around monochrome contrast. A color request is gently adapted to black and grey. Line-only is also available for a clearer contour study.
How do I create and print my own dotwork idea?
Choose this style, describe your subject, and set placement and size. Use Stencil on a result to create a mirrored or tiled real-size PDF; print at 100% and measure the calibration square.
