Do Fine Line Color Tattoos Cost More?

You have probably heard that color tattoos tend to cost more than black and grey tattoos. This is the case because a tattooist needs to mix and layer different shades of color which can result in a higher overall price due to increased session length. However, the cost increase is typically negligible for fine line color tattoos as shading is normally not needed (depending on the design). Layering and mixing is usually not required either, as one color tone is all that is most often requested. Colors that tend to work best for fine line (aside from black) include red, dark green, dark blue, and purple. These colors also help protect the integrity of the tattoo which we explore further below.

Do Fine Line Color Tattoos Fade Over Time?

All tattoos fade somewhat as the years pass, and fine line color tattoos are generally more susceptible to fading than others. That being said, proper attention and care will maintain the integrity for years. Ensure to do the following:

Only choose a fine line expert (as per above)
Choose darker colors over light colors
Keep fine line color tattoos out of the sun
Get a touch-up every few years
