Fine line tattooing is a style that uses very thin needles to create precise and detailed designs. Minimal designs, botanical motifs and lettering are very popular in this style. At Bosphorus Ink, our specialist fine line artists can create a custom piece just for you.
The duration of a realistic tattoo depends on its size and level of detail. A small portrait can take 2–4 hours, while large and detailed pieces may require multiple sessions. Each session is generally planned between 3–8 hours.
No, tattoo removal is not required for a cover-up. Our specialist artists will analyse your existing tattoo and cover it with a new design. A successful cover-up depends on the colour, density and size of the old tattoo. We evaluate each case during a free consultation.
