Fine line tattoos
What is a fine line tattoo?
A fine line tattoo is made with very thin needles that create clean, delicate lines and soft shading. The style suits small, minimalist designs such as script, symbols, flowers and small portraits. Every design is drawn for you, with line weight and size adapted to the placement so the tattoo stays clear as it heals and ages.

FAQ
Questions about realism tattoos
How much does a fine line tattoo cost?
The price depends on size, placement and detail. See our price list or book a consultation for an estimate.
Do fine line tattoos fade?
All tattoos soften over time. Fine lines last best when the design has the right size and placement, and when you follow the aftercare advice.
Does a fine line tattoo hurt?
Most people find it more comfortable than they expect, since the lines are thin and the sessions are short. It depends on the placement.
How small can a fine line tattoo be?
Very small designs are possible, but details need some space to stay readable. We recommend a size that will still look clean in ten years.
Is fine line a good first tattoo?
Yes, it is one of the most popular styles for a first tattoo. We take time to explain everything and go at your pace.
