Fine Line

Fine line tattooing uses very thin lines, made with a single needle or a small needle grouping.

Overview

About Fine Line

Visual markers to recognise Fine Line.

Designs are light and airy, with delicate detail, little shading and plenty of bare skin. It suits small pieces, script, botanical motifs and precise illustration.

Very thin lines

Single-needle or tight groupings for hair-thin strokes.

Light shading

Minimal tone; the skin does most of the work.

Small-scale detail

Precision that holds at a small size.
