About this dotwork gallery

This gallery collects 390 catalogued dotwork tattoo photos from 268 Australian studios across 8 states. Every image is real client work photographed by the studio that made it — not stock imagery or AI renders — and each photo is classified by our team by style, subject and body placement, so the filters above reflect what was actually tattooed.

Within Australian dotwork work, the most common subjects in our library are floral, mandala and eye. The placements that appear most often are the forearm, upper arm and calf. Each photo links to the studio that made it, so when a piece catches your eye you can go straight to that studio's profile, portfolio and contact details.
