What is fine line tattooing?

Fine line tattooing is a technique that uses very fine needles to create precise details, resulting in a minimalist, clean, and elegant look. This style is perfect for those looking for subtle tattoos with intricate designs.

What is microrealism tattooing?

Microrealism is a tattoo style based on realism, but with a key difference: it focuses on creating extremely small, detailed designs. While both fine line and microrealism share some similarities, they are distinct styles, with microrealism being focused on achieving lifelike details in a tiny scale.

How do I book an appointment for a fine line or microrealism tattoo?

The best way to book an appointment is by filling out the inquiry form available on the booking tab of this website. Alternatively, you can email me with the information listed on the booking page. I will respond with a quote or let you know if I need more details to provide a more accurate estimate.

How long does a fine line or microrealism tattoo take to complete?

I currently offer sessions of 2, 4, and 8 hours. Depending on the design, level of detail, style, and placement, I will provide an estimate of how many hours your session will require.

Do you accept walk-ins for fine line or microrealism tattoos?

I do not accept walk-ins. I work strictly by appointment only.

What should I do to prepare for my tattoo session?

Please check the "Preparation" section on the booking tab for tips on how to be well-prepared for your tattoo session. I’ve provided helpful guidance there to ensure you're ready for your appointment.

How do I take care of my fine line or microrealism tattoo after the session?

I recommend reviewing the "After Care" section under the booking tab, where you'll find detailed instructions on how to take care of your tattoo to ensure proper healing and long-lasting results.

Are your tattoos custom-designed for each client?

Yes, I always strive to create unique pieces for my clients. Based on their ideas, I design something special that reflects their vision and meets their expectations.

What are the prices for fine line and microrealism tattoos?

2-hour session: $400
4-hour session: $750
8-hour session: $1300

Do you offer consultations before the tattoo appointment for fine line or microrealism tattoos?

I typically don’t offer in-person consultations. Instead, I ask for detailed information via the inquiry form so I can understand my client's ideas in writing. In some very specific cases, an in-person consultation may be required, but it’s not mandatory.

Can I bring my own design for a fine line or microrealism tattoo?

You are welcome to bring your ideas and reference designs, but I always create a unique design based on your concept. I do not copy tattoos from other artists.

Is a deposit required to book an appointment for either style?

Yes, a deposit is always required to secure an appointment.

Do you tattoo over scars or cover up old tattoos with fine line or microrealism designs?

Not always. I need to evaluate each scar or old tattoo to determine whether it's feasible to tattoo over it or if it can be covered in my style. Usually, covering an old tattoo requires a much larger and darker design, which may not align with my style.

What makes your fine line and microrealism tattoos unique?

I have a unique design style and a clean execution, with a strong focus on detail. My tattoos are all about precision and creating something that feels original and personal to each client.

Can I get both fine line and microrealism tattoos in the same session?

Absolutely! I call it a "conceptual design" – this way, we can combine both styles and create even more unique pieces. Check out my Portfolio for inspiration, where you’ll find many examples of tattoos that blend both styles.

Do you create conceptual designs for tattoos?

Yes, I base my designs on my clients' ideas and concepts, and I always add my personal touch of originality to each design.

What is your process when working with clients to create custom tattoo designs?

I always start by asking what the meaning behind the project is or, if it’s purely aesthetic, I ask about your tastes and preferences to interpret them into the tattoo. I also ask clients to organize a list of primary and secondary elements they’d like to include in their tattoo. After that, I take care of the rest!

How do you ensure the final design matches the client's vision?

I ask many questions and request references to interpret my client's wishes as accurately as possible. While some ideas sound amazing, not all can realistically be tattooed. Therefore, I guide my clients toward the best path to ensure we both achieve a result we’re 100% happy with.
