Fine Line Tattoo Bangkok
by BKK INK

Mo, with us since 2020, leads the style: thin, even lines and delicate detail. Fine line also sits naturally with artists whose main style depends on clean line work: Mor, our old school specialist, Hack, whose geometric work demands perfect line control, Vay, who brings his feel for colour to delicate pieces, Jack and Ballin.

Many of our fine line clients are getting their first tattoo, so we take the time a first piece deserves: we talk through the size, the placement and how the design will look in a few years, not only on the day.

It starts with a free consultation, with no obligation to book. Bring a photo, a sketch, a mood board or just an idea, and your artist draws a custom design at the right scale for your placement.

How long it takes depends entirely on the size: a tiny symbol is done in minutes, a larger botanical or a composition on the forearm takes longer, and your artist tells you the expected time and the maximum price at the consultation. If you are adding to an existing piece, we leave at least two weeks between sittings.

Fine line can soften over the years, especially on skin that sees a lot of sun or stretches a lot. For a piece that lasts, choose a size that is not too small for the detail you want. Some areas are not recommended for fine line, and we will be there to guide you.

Needles are single-use, ink is poured into disposable caps that are thrown away after each client, and we work with Dynamic and Eternal inks, both vegan and cruelty-free. Our artists who tattoo at European conventions also hold the hygiene and sanitation certifications required there.

Fine line starts at 1,000 THB, the price of a mini piece that takes a minute or two. Beyond that, time is billed in 10-minute steps of 500 THB, which is 3,000 THB per hour, always under a maximum agreed before we start.

A short fine-line script on the wrist is around 1,500 THB. On our size grid, a tiny symbol or lettering costs 1,000 to 2,000 THB and a palm-sized piece 2,500 to 7,000 THB. A deposit, from 1,000 THB for small pieces, secures your date. See the full pricing guide, or our small tattoo page if you are working to a budget rather than a technique.

From 1,000 THB for a mini piece. A short script on the wrist is around 1,500 THB, a tiny symbol 1,000 to 2,000 THB and a palm-sized piece 2,500 to 7,000 THB. You pay for the time actually spent, under a maximum agreed before we start.

It depends entirely on the size. A tiny symbol takes minutes; a larger botanical or a forearm composition takes longer. Your artist gives you the expected time at the consultation. Small and medium pieces can usually be done the same day: during the day the wait is up to an hour, and after 8 pm there is none.

A regular tattoo groups several needles to pack ink and build bold lines and solid fills. Fine line works with very thin needle groupings to draw hairline strokes, micro-shading and delicate detail. The result is lighter and closer to an ink drawing on skin; the trade-off is that it can soften over the years more than bolder styles.

They can, with the right choices. Because the lines are thin and the ink less saturated, fine line can soften or blur over time, especially on sun-exposed or stretching skin. Your artist will advise you on placement and size so the piece stays readable.

Sleep well the night before, eat a full meal within two hours of your appointment, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol for 24 hours. Moisturise the area every day in the week before: well-hydrated skin holds fine lines more cleanly. Once it's done, follow our aftercare guide.
