11 Dots Tattoo is an independent tattoo studio in the heart of Ericeira. Founded by Alex Tattooing and home to a team of resident artists, the studio brings together fine line, micro realism, dotwork, handpoke, ornamental and custom tattoo styles in one welcoming space.
Come with a clear idea, choose an available flash, or simply start with a conversation. We work with locals, first-timers and visitors looking for a tattoo that feels personal rather than picked from a catalogue.

Tattoo Styles and Services at 11 Dots
From small, precise pieces to bolder custom work, our artists offer a mix of styles and approaches. Browse the portfolio, explore the team’s Instagram accounts, or message us with your idea.
Micro Realism
Small-scale tattoos with careful shading, contrast and lifelike detail. A strong choice for portraits, objects, animals and meaningful imagery in a compact format.
Fine Line
Delicate linework for minimal designs, lettering, botanicals and subtle personal symbols. Each piece is adapted to the placement and the way it will sit on the body.
Dotwork and Pointillism
Designs built through dots, texture and tonal variation. Dotwork can feel soft and minimal or become part of a more graphic ornamental composition.
Handpoke and Ornamental
Hand-poked and machine-made tattoos inspired by natural forms, symbolism and ornamental pattern. Ideal for clients drawn to texture, rhythm and organic placement.
Custom Tattoos and Flashes
Bring your references and story, or choose a design from the artists’ available flashes. We will help refine the size, placement and direction before the appointment.
Consultations and Masterclasses
First tattoo or still shaping your idea? Start with a consultation. Alex also offers tattoo training and masterclasses for artists looking to develop their technique.
