01
Ornament and geometry
A regular rhythm of dots supports the symmetry and structure of the design.

Dotwork tattoos in Brno
Dotwork creates shading and texture using dots. The result depends on dot density, contrast and a design that is large enough.
Dotwork
A delicate result comes from controlling density and rhythm, not from accumulating detail.
When dotwork makes sense
02
Subtle shading
A dotted gradient can replace a solid grey area.
03
Black composition
Dotwork works well with linework, blackwork and negative space.
What determines the result
Before preparing the design, we check the dot density, line weight, contrast, size and how the design relates to the anatomy.
01
Density
The spacing between dots determines the brightness, shading and legibility of an area.
02
Contrast
Light and dark sections must remain clearly separated.
03
Size
If the design is too small, subtle transitions and details may merge.
04
Rhythm
We adapt the direction and repetition of elements to the movement of the chosen part of the body.

Studio portfolio
Selected work: Dotwork
Our current portfolio does not yet contain a piece confirmed as classic dotwork. Alex uses whip shading, which is a different technique, so we do not include her work in this gallery.
We will add to the gallery once we have a verified piece in this style.
Tattoo artists for a dotwork consultation
Our current portfolio does not contain a confirmed classic dotwork piece. Alex works with whip shading and Daria with graphic styles. We therefore confirm which technique is suitable for each specific design.
Alex Aski
Clean lines, small formats and high-contrast designs where precision is essential.
Specialisms
Fine line, small tattoos, blackwork

Price based on the specific design
01
Design
The composition and amount of detail determine the complexity of the design.
02
Size
The dimensions must preserve the legibility of the chosen design.
03
Placement
The shape and movement of the body area affect both preparation and tattooing.
04
Technique
The dot density and number of shaded areas affect the time and complexity of the work.
05
Artist
We recommend a suitable artist based on the specific design and style.

Questions before a dotwork consultation
Can a dotwork tattoo be small?
Yes, if the design is simple enough. Subtle transitions and dense shading often need a larger area.
Can dotwork be combined with linework?
Yes. Linework can define the silhouette, while dots create shading, texture or a transition.
How do I get a price estimate?
Send the design, placement on the body, approximate size and references. We prepare an estimate only after assessing the brief.
How do you choose the right artist?
We consider the style, technique, scale and colour, then recommend the artist best suited to the project.
What should I send before the consultation?
The design, placement on the body, approximate size and references are enough. For a cover-up or touch-up, also add a clear photograph of the existing tattoo.
