The tattoos have in common that the outlines are engraved with fine needles and mostly black tattoo ink. In addition to the black color for the outlines, white or gray tones can also be used for light shading.

The filigree tattoos are also often combined with other styles, such as dotwork , watercolor , sketch or geometric .

What should be considered with fineline tattoos?

It is often argued that fineline tattoos are less durable than other tattoo styles, and over the years they don't look as good or fade faster. A few points should be considered when choosing the motif, the size and the body part. Above all, the motif should not be too small . The tattoo artist will advise you on the correct size and placement in the consultation.

Fineline tattoos are often perceived as not so painful and usually heal quickly, since there are not so many punctures in the skin and only small needle sizes are used. The perception of pain is very individual from person to person.

Which parts of the body for fineline tattoos?

In principle, all parts of the body can be suitable for a fineline tattoo. It is always a question of the interplay between size, motif and placement.

On parts of the body where the skin is particularly thin (e.g. fingers or the back of the foot), the durability of tattoos is limited. This should be considered when making the decision.

Which tattoo artist for fineline tattoos?

With fineline motifs, it is particularly important that the lines are engraved accurately and evenly . You should therefore choose an artist who has experience with the style.

Despite their simplicity, fineline tattoos require a high level of concentration on the part of the artist, since the motifs have to be engraved very precisely.
