A great example of a (monochromatic) stipple tattoo.  Stippling is the technique of using small dots to simulate varying degrees of solidity or shading.  Unlike pontillism which uses a variety of colors stippling uses only one.  In the above photo you can see that Steve, one of our Witch City Ink artists used red dots to create this piece of body art.
