One may also ask, what is fine line tattooing?
Fine line tattooing consists of distinct straight or curved thin lines, without gradations in shade or color to represent 2D or 3D objects, emphasizing form and outline over color, shading, and texture. These tattoos can have incredible levels of detail built in, without being ‘loud’ about it.
This style is also known as ‘jailhouse’ tattooing or ‘joint style’ tattooing, specifically because the style is believed to have started in prison tattooing.
