FINE LINE TATTOOS
WHAT IS A FINE LINE TATTOO?
Modern tattoo technology allows for the creation of fine, detailed images that can be very small and placed just about anywhere on your body.
There are no strict rules on what size constitutes a tiny tattoo. They can be under a cm in height and length to a few cm. Ultimately, the size is up to you and your artist.
