Fine line tattoos use a single needle (or a very small grouping) to draw thin, precise lines. They suit small and medium pieces on the wrist, forearm, ribs, collarbone and behind the ear, and they pair well with flowers, botanical sprigs, animals, script and celestial symbols.
Because thin lines can soften over the years, keep tiny designs simple and give lines a little room. Show your artist the design at the size you want so they can adjust line weight.
