Fine line

A thin, clean line with no fill. Done by Lucie and Klára.

Fine line work rests on a single thin line — no shading, no fill. The motif is held together by composition rather than contrast, so the result reads more like a pencil drawing than a classic tattoo.

Who it suits

  • You want a tattoo that is not striking at first glance.
  • You like lettering, delicate florals, symbols or geometry.
  • It is your first tattoo and you want to start quietly.

Worth knowing beforehand

A thin line spreads in the skin over time more than a thick one, so fine line work benefits from leaving space between elements. On palms, fingers and feet it holds worse than elsewhere — if that is where you want it, we will tell you what to expect.
