I specialise in Fine Line, Micro-Realism and Single Needle. I mindfully blend different techniques to achieve the best result for every unique design.

Fine Line tattoos are intricate, delicate designs made with thin lines and small needles.
Single Needle tattoos are created using one needle. They are typically very delicate, fine and minimal.Fine Line tattoos offer a wider range of possibilities. They can be created using different fine needle configurations and may include more detail, soft shading and varying line weights. The result is still light and delicate.
Fine Line tattoos heal delicately and naturally soften over time. Sun exposure, friction and lifestyle can affect how quickly this happens.
