One of the recent trends we’ve been hearing a lot of noise about in tattooing is the fine-line design. These minimal tattoos can offer a wonderfully subtle way of expressing a statement through the medium of ink.
For those inspired by all the talk of fine-line botanicals and nautical iconography, we’ve compiled a list of the best places to get a fine-line tattoo in London - so you don’t have to go searching.
And if your brand new fine-line tattoo doesn’t fit with an earlier tattoo design on your skin, we’ve got you covered for safe and gentle laser tattoo removal. That’s us always trying to stay a few steps ahead.
Here are some of the best places in London to get a fine-line tattoo design.
What are fine-line tattoos?
Fine-line tattoos are minimalist in form, typically inked with just a single tattoo needle.
They are far more subtle than traditional tattoo designs that can take three or many more needles to accomplish.
“Fine-line tattoos are a little bit more superficial than traditional tattoos,” Marisa Jimenez, co-owner of the Casa Dolores Tattoo Studio in Bristol, tells NAAMA. “Old school tattoos use bigger needles and more pigment. The lower the number of needles the lower the power of the machine - which also means less pain.”
Fine-line tattoos often don’t feature shading and are made up entirely of elegant line work.
