About Fine Line Tattoos

Fine Line Tattoos sits on Berkeley Street in Carlton, a short step from the Melbourne CBD, and does what the name promises: clean, precise fine line and single-needle work. Co-founded and led by a tattooist with more than two decades behind the machine, the studio has built its name on delicate, considered designs that are made to age well.

The roster is large and varied, running from minimalist scripts and symbols through to florals, black and grey realism, colour work and larger custom pieces, so the centre suits both first-timers after something small and collectors planning a bigger project. Bookings are structured around shorter and longer sessions plus a shared two-client option, and the team is well practised at walking nervous clients through their first tattoo.

Inks are vegan-friendly and the focus stays on careful, collaborative custom work. A solid choice for anyone in the inner north wanting fine line done properly.
