A traditional fine line tattoo often heals more like a fine-tip Sharpie, while a healed single needle tattoo tends to resemble a drawing made with a freshly sharpened pencil.

Both styles are beautiful, they're simply different aesthetics.

Smaller does not necessarily mean cheaper.

I specialize in fine line and single needle tattooing, which requires a completely different skillset and technique than traditional tattooing. Ultra-fine needles leave very little room for error and require an extremely high level of precision.

Yes.

If you're interested in getting multiple tattoos during the same appointment, I may be able to offer a discounted bundle rate.

I will provide both the individual pricing and the discounted bundle price. Bundle pricing only applies when all tattoos are completed during the same appointment.

Fine line tattoos typically heal softer than traditional tattoos.

Single needle tattoos especially tend to heal with a charcoal-like appearance rather than a bold black finish. In some cases, single needle tattoos may heal lighter than expected.

This softer appearance is part of the aesthetic of fine line tattooing.

Possibly! Touch-ups are common with fine line tattooing, especially when using single needle techniques.

Applying too much pigment can cause lines to spread and blur over time. Because of this, it is often preferable to tattoo conservatively and reinforce areas later if needed.

One touch-up within 6 months is $15. After 6 months, touch-ups are priced at 50% of the original tattoo cost. Maintenance may be required with fine line tattooing.

Areas that experience frequent movement, washing, and friction tend to fade faster. Wrists are exposed to constant washing, while ankles experience friction from socks, shoes, and clothing.

I do not tattoo hands, fingers, feet, necks, or behind-the-ear placements.

Certain fonts and placements may also be declined if I believe they will not heal or age well. For example, some non-cursive fonts (Roman numerals, Times New Roman-style fonts, etc.) may not be suitable for high-movement areas such as the ribs.
