FINE LINE & TATTOOS

FINELINE & SMALL TATTOOS

​

Fine line, tiny tattoos, small tattoos call them what you like, they're a very popular choice, they're fun and cute. I can design a tattoo for you and can also recreate ones that you like the look of from an image or photograph. Pinterest is a great place for inspiration.

 

Small minimalist pieces, they're the perfect choice to show a permanent reminder in a subtle way. Prices start at just £50 and depend on complexity and size.​

​​

"Fine line" and "small" tattoos refer to a style of tattooing that uses very thin lines created with a single needle or a small grouping of needles, resulting in delicate, minimalistic designs that are often small in size, with a focus on clean lines and minimal shading; essentially, they are tiny tattoos with intricate, fine line work. 

​

Key points about fine line tattoos:

​

• Minimalist aesthetic:

  They prioritise simple, clean lines over heavy shading, creating a subtle and understated look. 

​

• Single needle technique:

  Artists often use a single needle or a small grouping of needles to achieve the thin, delicate lines. 

​

• Versatile designs:

  Can include geometric patterns, small symbols, quotes, simple portraits, or even detailed nature designs. 

​

• Suitable for first-timers:

  Due to their smaller size and less invasive nature, they can be a good choice for people getting their first tattoo. 

​

Aftercare for fine line and small tattoos involves gently cleansing the area with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap 2-3 times a day, patting it dry, applying a thin layer of tattoo balm specifically designed for tattoos (supplied), and protecting it from direct sunlight, water and excessive rubbing until fully healed; avoid picking or scratching the tattoo, and be cautious with tight clothing that might irritate the area.

Alternatively I can also offer a saline removal option for the same price as a micro tattoo (may need multiple sessions).

​To protect and prolong the life of any micropigmentation or tattooing you should protect your skin with a factor 25 or above sunscreen, UVA and UVB rays will fade the ink.​
