Artist Georges Seurat is best known for originating the Pointillist method of painting, using small dot-like strokes of color in works such as “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte.”

Interesting Facts about Georges Seurat His paintings worked a lot like computer monitors work today. His dots were like the pixels on a computer screen. A lot of what we know about Seurat today comes from the diary of Paul Signac who liked to write. His final painting was The Circus.

Pointillism

• Pointillism (/ˈpwæ̃tɪlɪzəm/, also US: /ˈpwɑːn-ˌ ˈpɔɪn-/) is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image.
• Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism.

Pointillism involves using thousands of tiny dots to create an image which looks solid from a distance. With tattooing becoming more popular than ever, styles like pointillism are becoming in-demand as a way for men to break free of the mold of traditional tattooing styles.

The location of the ink heavily determines how bad the pain will be. The ribs, inner arms, and shoulder tend to be the most painful. Those who have dotwork ink done often say that the pain is more localized to where the dot itself is. With regular tattoos, the pain may sometimes radiate throughout the entire area.

One dot tattoo has the same meaning on how you use the dot (period ) in a sentence. It means the end of something like how you end a sentence. In the tattoo, it may be the end of a relationship or something it is something that ended in your personal life experience.
