Behind the Lettering and Fineline Tattoo style is a tattooing technique that is mainly determined by fine needle sizes. These tattoos are done with so-called 3 or 5 round liner tattoo needles. The “single-needle” technique, the finest needle size, is also often used.

With this technique, very thin lines and detailed tattoos can be implemented. It is only done by using a single needle and not with several needles soldered together. In contrast to other tattoo styles, Lettering and Fineline Tattoos are gentler on the skin and crusting occurs comparatively rarely and less severely during the healing process.

Tattoos and their permanence are not without controversy, for two reasons. First, it’s because Fineline Tattoos can appear slightly uneven, as thin lines are more prone to pigment change. On the other hand, they fade faster because they have fewer color pigments. If some color pigments are missing, this is noticed comparatively quicker.

As a rule, a tattoo can be touched up and repaired by your tattoo artist. You can see every unevenness in the fine lines, so only tattoo artists who have many years of experience should do Lettering and Fineline Tattoos. Below we have listed our specialists for Lettering and Fineline Tattoos.

Safety and Hygiene for Lettering and Fineline Tattoos

In addition to artistic uniqueness and the best quality, we have the highest demands on our work processes in terms of hygiene and sterility. In our studio we only use high-quality materials and tested tattoo colors from recognized manufacturers. Every item used, such as needles, disinfectants, etc., is documented using an “ink notary” and thus checked for conformity. In this way we can guarantee the best possible security.

We require a person receiving a tattoo to be at least 16 years old. The presence of a legal guardian is mandatory for minors. However, we reserve the right to decide which tattoos may still be too early.

How to make Lettering and Fineline Tattoos last longer

• After getting the tattoo, you should give the skin enough time to heal.
• The care should be carried out according to the recommendation of your tattoo artist. This can take up to a few weeks. You can find further instructions here.
• Skin is far more sensitive to UV rays than non-tattooed skin, even after it has healed. It is important to protect the tattoo. We recommend adequate sun protection.
• If a touch-up is recommended by your tattoo artist after healing, the offer should be accepted. This is the only way to achieve the desired quality and maintain it.
