Fine Line
The art of subtlety. Incredibly delicate, single-needle work that looks like a pencil sketch on skin.
Izzy
Specialist Artist
Fine Line tattooing has redefined what is possible on skin. Gone are the days of 'bold or nothing'. This style uses single needles (1RL) to create imagery so delicate it often looks like it was drawn with a technical pencil. It is the perfect choice for those who want art that whispers rather than shouts.
The Technical Challenge
Do not be fooled by the simplicity. Fine line is unforgiving. There are no thick lines to hide mistakes behind. It requires a surgeon's steady hand and specialized equipment. If the needle goes too deep, it 'blows out' (blurs). If it's too shallow, it fades away. Our specialist, Izzy, has mastered this delicate balance.
Ideal Subjects for Fine Line
- Micro-Realism (Pets, Portraits)
- Botanical & Floral Illustrations
- Delicate Script & Handwriting
- Geometric & Architectural Diagrams
Healed Results & Longevity
A common myth is that fine line tattoos fade away in a year. This is false—if done correctly. While they will settle and soften slightly over time (as all tattoos do), a technically perfect fine line tattoo will remain crisp for decades. Sunscreen is your best friend with this style.
