Fineline
What’s fine line tattoos?
Fineline tattoos are a popular style of tattooing characterized by the use of thin lines to create minimalist clean line arts to detailed and realistic-looking designs. Fine line tattoos require a lot of skill and precision, as the artist must have a steady hand and a keen eye for detail.
Fineline Tattoo vs Regular?
Fineline tattoos create thinner and more intricate tattoo lines by using 1-3 round liner needles, whereas traditional tattoos create thicker bolder lines using 6-12 round liner needles. Both styles can incorporate black and grey or color ink, and both styles can apply to the same areas of the body.
Though both tattoo styles will fade with time and may need touch-ups, the longevity of your tattoo in either style relies on many factors such as the location of the tattoo including how well aftercare is maintained.
You can extend the vibrance, definition, and color of your fine line tattoo with some simple steps:
- Choose a skilled tattoo artist.
- Allow your tattoo to fully heal.
- Nurture your skin with healing ointment.
- Avoid sun exposure.
- Get your tattoo touched up after six months.
