Everything you need to know about the Fineline Tattoo



Fineline tattoos are having their moment in the limelight, due to their delicate and intricate nature. This style of tattooing uses a mixture of subtle line work, paired with negative space, to create soft and ethereal pieces of art.






What is a fineline tattoo?


A fineline tattoo is created using either multiple very fine needles, or a single needle, to create a minimalistic design without areas of bold blackwork used in other styles of tattooing.


How do fineline tattoos heal?

Fineline tattoos heal in almost exactly the same way as any other tattoo, and you should look after them exactly like you would any other style of tattoo. Due to their delicate structure, fineline tattoos can heal slightly lighter than darker bolder styles, allowing you to have a tattoo that harnesses the beauty of simple line work and soft subtle artwork.


Do fineline tattoos hurt less?


As with all tattoos there is always an element of pain within the process, however because they are created with smaller needles they may hurt a little less then chunkier styles of tattooing. The pain is also dependant on your personal tolerance.


How do fineline tattoos last over time?

All tattoos will fade and slightly soften over time, which is the beauty of tattoos in general, they live and age with you through life! Fineline tattoos can heal marginally lighter than other styles of tattoos as artists are depositing less ink into the skin due to the  smaller needles used, and shallower depths of technique. This quality is often desired as a more subtle outcome can create dainty minimalistic artwork. The longevity of your tattoo will always rely on multiple factors including placement, design, aftercare and other circumstances.
