![]() ![]() The factors that play into the cost are the same for fine-line tattoos as they are for other tattoos: size, color, and the time it takes to complete them. And for even more precaution, Parker says to ask your tattoo artist what their retouch policy is and if you can come back to them in two to three years if you need one. You can prepare and protect your tattoo by deep-diving on tattoo artists’ Instagrams, asking to see pictures of their healed tattoo work, and ordering a tattoo-friendly sunscreen with SPF 30 or more ahead of time. According to Bluestone, the rate of fading depends on where it is on your body, the experience of the tattoo artist, and how much sun exposure your tattoo will get. The fading of a tattoo is inevitable over time, thanks to our skin’s natural instinct to slowly remove foreign substances (helpful but not helpful, you know?). “ T here’s no reason a fine-line tattoo should fade any faster than a thicker-lined tattoo,” Bluestone says. “There’s a sense of, Oh, this is actually for me and not necessarily for it to be shown off.” (Or, you know, take a billion selfies and show yours off to the world like I would.) Do fine-line tattoos go away? “Fine-line tattoos are daintier and less bold than a regular tattoo,” says tattoo consultant Tann Parker. You won’t see a lot of shading or bright colors but instead a lot of simple, linear designs and intricate details. You’ll recognize them for their delicate nature, says tattoo artist Rosa Perr Bluestone. Unlike traditional tattoos, which are created by a group of three or more needles for a thicker design, fine-line tattoos are created by just a single tattoo needle to leave you with super-fine lines and minimalist designs.
