About the style

Stipple tattoos use a dot-work technique to create shading, texture, and intricate patterns without traditional line shading.

The technique creates a distinctive, artistic look with beautiful depth and a slightly soft, almost screen-printed quality. It pairs particularly well with botanical and geometric subjects.

Our artists are experienced in stipple work and happy to discuss whether it's the right fit for your design.
