Good to know

Which placements make sense for Fineline?

Fineline needs calm skin. Inner forearm, wrist, collarbone, ribs and ankle are the classics, because the skin there is taut and shifts little. Our Artists often advise against fingers and palms: the skin renews itself quickly there, fine lines lose sharpness and have to be touched up. If you have a placement in mind that moves or rubs a lot, mention it. There is often a position a few centimetres away that holds up much better.

How small can a Fineline tattoo be?

It hardly gets smaller than a Fineline tattoo, but there is a lower limit here too. Lines need space between them, otherwise they grow together over the years. A single flower, a word or a symbol works from a few centimetres, a design with shading, a face or a lot of text needs more. Your Artist sets the size so that the lines can still be read individually in ten years. How Fineline ages and why, we explain in detail in the Fineline guide.

Fineline and other styles, does that work?

Very well, in fact. Fineline flowers around a Black-&-Grey portrait, fine lettering beneath a Realistic design, or delicate lines complementing Mandala and Dotwork. The contrast between fine and bold is intentional and gives a sleeve rhythm. What matters is that the fine elements do not butt directly against very dark areas but get some breathing room. Bring your idea, and we will introduce you to an Artist who masters both.

What do I need for the consultation?

An idea of the design is enough, it does not have to be a finished sketch. Examples you like and a photo of the placement help. In the free consultation we clarify size, position and which of our Fineline Artists suits your design. Your Artist then draws the design, you see it before the appointment and can have it adjusted until it is right.

What the price depends on

Fineline pieces are usually small, the effort lies in precision and in the design: every line is placed once, there are no corrections. Size, number of elements, shading and whether it is your own handwriting or an individually drawn design determine the scope. Your Artist sets the price after the free consultation.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fineline really last?

Yes, if placement, size and line spacing are right. Then Fineline ages like any other tattoo. The background is in the Fineline guide, just this much here: fingers and palms are the exception.

How long does a Fineline appointment take?

Small designs are often done in one short session, and many clients go straight back to work afterwards. Larger Fineline compositions on the forearm or ribs take correspondingly longer, but usually only one appointment.

Does Fineline hurt less?

The needle is thinner and the session shorter, so many find it comfortable. On the ribs and ankle you will still feel it. Our placement pages show how the areas compare.

Can I talk by video first and pay in instalments?

Yes, the free consultation also works by video call. Some of our Artists offer payment in instalments, usually via PayPal or Klarna. Whether they do, on what terms and over what period is decided by the Artist, who will tell you in the consultation. The studio is not involved. More on this under Payment in instalments.
