In the purest sense, fine line tattoos have very thin outlines that are made using only lining needles.

Check out their work!

Pay attention to the pieces that are similar to the piece you want to get, Asante says.

Honestly, thats the best way to choose any artist.

Every artist has their own style and distinct work.

Read reviews and ask for recommendations from friends or online communities.

Schedule consultations with potential artists to discuss your design ideas and assess their expertise and professionalism.

Finally, Fevinger urges those looking for an artist to really vet them.
