GRAPHIC TATTOOS

Graphic tattoos are a common name for black tattoos, often with thin fine outlines and light, airy shading, sometimes geometric sketchy tattoos with shadows and lines in the style of dotwork or whip shading. Just one or two colors can be added to a black style tattoo to maintain that style. Consultation is free online or at the Canggu (Bali) tattoo studio.

Dotwork tattoo or "pointillism" in fine art. Dots can be used to create shadows or as independent elements, or they can form lines. These lines of dots are less saturated and bold, making them well-suited for light tattoos.

Whip shading is a technique used by tattoo artists to create shadows with the help of sweeping movements of the hand. This technique creates characteristic shadows that give tattoos a unique look.
