Michael did a great job!!! I am obsessed with how straight his lines are lol he was very personable and went above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable even to letting you pick the music playing. Will definitely be back for more work

Placed my piercing perfectly and was done quickly and not too painful! Will be back for another piercing soon

Mike did a piece after my son was born and it is my absolute favorite tattoo on my body. It definitely has a special place in my heart and on my body! Mike killed it with a gentle touch!! I love showing it off and have gotten so many compliments. He even does touch ups when the color starts to fade. He makes me feel validated when I come to him with any concerns. Can’t wait for my next piece!!! 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone

Hands down the best Tattoo appointment I've ever made. Carmela is a gem💎 she couldn't have been any kinder and more importantly, she is impressively talented. I could not be any more stoked for my piece and will be booking with Carmela in the future ❤️

FAQ

Dotwork tattoos, answered

How much does a dot-work tattoo cost?

Artists in this category list services ranging from about $25 to $5000, with the final price depending on size, detail, placement, and the artist's experience level.

How do I find the best dot-work tattoo artist for me?

Browse the 94 dot-work artists on TattMe, compare portfolios, and read client reviews. Look specifically for artists whose existing work matches the size, color palette, and level of detail you want — a great realism artist isn't automatically a great traditional artist, even within the same studio.

Where on the body does dot-work work best?

Dot-work can work almost anywhere, but the right placement depends on the design's complexity. Highly detailed pieces need enough surface area to read clearly — back, thigh, and full sleeves typically work best for intricate work, while simpler designs translate well to forearm, calf, or rib placements. Ask your artist for placement advice before you commit.

Does dot-work age well over time?

Dot-work ages best when the underlying technique is sound — clean lines, appropriate ink density, and placement away from high-friction or sun-exposed areas all matter more than the style itself. TattMe artists publish their portfolios with healed work where available, so you can see how their pieces look months or years out.

Where can I find dot-work tattoo artists near me?

TattMe lists dot-work artists across multiple cities — top markets right now include Dallas, Texas, Virginia Beach, Virginia, Baltimore, Maryland. Use the city filter on individual style pages, or browse the full directory by city to see what's available in your area.
