Fine line tattoos are created using a single needle or very fine grouping, which allows for delicate, detailed work. I love using this style for florals, ornamental patterns, dotwork, and minimal designs.
Because the lines are so fine, these tattoos tend to feel lighter and less intense during the session compared to heavier shading or colour work — though everyone’s pain tolerance is different!
Healing-wise, fine line tattoos usually heal quite quickly and with minimal peeling. They can appear lighter once healed, and it’s normal for some areas to soften slightly over time. A touch-up might occasionally be needed to keep those crisp details perfect.
Fine line tattoos are ideal if you want something elegant, subtle, and timeless — art that feels soft and personal on your skin.

Soft black & grey realism uses smooth shading and soft gradients to build depth and texture. I love using this style for animals, statues, etc, creating that dreamy, skin-blended effect that still feels light and feminine.
The experience of getting this style tattooed can feel a bit more intense than fine line work in some areas, as shading means the needle covers larger sections of skin — but I always work gently, with breaks whenever you need them.
Healing is similar to fine line tattoos but may take a little longer for larger pieces. You’ll usually notice some peeling and light flaking within the first week, and the tattoo will soften into a lighter tone once fully healed. It’s important to moisturise regularly and keep it clean during this stage.
Soft realism tattoos tend to age beautifully, especially when looked after — the gentle greys settle into the skin in a really natural, smooth way.

Alongside custom tattoos, I also offer a range of flash designs that I’ve created myself. These are ready-to-go pieces that you can choose from if something catches your eye.
Some of my flash designs are one-time only, meaning they’ll never be repeated — once they’re claimed, they’re yours forever. Others are repeatable designs, which means they can be tattooed more than once, but I’ll always make it clear which is which.
Flash pieces are a great option if you love my style and want something designed by me, without the longer wait for a custom design. I update my available flash regularly, so keep an eye on my social media to see what’s currently up for grabs.
