Fine line tattoos
A technique, not a size. A single needle, low pressure, and lines drawn with gaps meant to still be right in ten years.
A fine line is built slowly. The work is done with a single needle or a very small grouping, in a few measured passes, and that is what makes it slower than an ordinary line of the same length — not the size, but the number of decisions per centimetre.
What decides whether a design works is the spacing. Pigment moves in skin, every line widens slightly over the years, and two lines that sat too close merge into one mark. So a good piece in this technique looks too generous on the first day, and that is exactly the intent.
