Fineline & minimal linework
I focus on fineline and single-needle tattooing, drawn to the quiet detail of clean, minimal linework. My work leans towards soft lines, subtle shading and designs that sit lightly on the skin. I take time with each piece, making sure it flows with the body and feels personal to the wearer. The aim is simple: thoughtful tattoos that age well and hold meaning.
“Really soft and steady hand, made the details look effortless. Healed beautifully too.”
Do fineline tattoos fade more quickly?
Fineline work can fade a little faster than heavier styles, simply because there’s less ink in the skin. This doesn’t mean it won’t last — it just requires sensible aftercare and realistic expectations. Slight softening over time is normal and part of the style’s look.
