Frequently asked questions
Technique, skin and placement differ for every person. Steven will advise you personally.
How small can a fine line tattoo be?+
That depends on the design and placement. Too much detail in too little space can blur; Steven recommends a size that can heal well.
Does fine line hurt less?+
Sessions are often shorter, but pain is influenced more by placement and the individual than by line thickness alone.
Will a fine line tattoo need touching up?+
Not automatically. Healing, skin type, sunlight and placement all influence the final result.
