Fineline tattoo in Palma
Fine lines, elegant details and delicate designs. Floriana draws every fineline tattoo to order at our studio in central Palma.
What is fineline?
Fineline is a tattoo style done with very thin needles, allowing delicate lines, small details and a clean, elegant finish. It's the style of subtle tattoos that look beautiful up close: flowers, lettering, symbols or single-line figures. If you're looking for a fineline tattoo in Palma, precision is everything, because in such a fine design every wobble shows. That's why it pays to choose an artist who specialises in it.
It may look simple, but fineline is demanding. The line has to go in at exactly the right depth: too shallow and it fades as it heals, too deep and it can blur. Size matters too. Very small details packed closely together tend to merge over the years, so it's worth leaving some breathing room between lines rather than squeezing the design into a tiny space. Planned properly, the result stays clean for much longer.
It works really well on the forearm, wrist, collarbone, ribs, ankle or behind the ear, and it's a popular choice for a holiday tattoo: small pieces are usually done in one short session. Just remember a fresh tattoo has to stay out of the sun, the sea and the pool while it heals, so plan it for the start or end of your trip and book ahead on WhatsApp. If it's your first tattoo, we'll take you through the whole process calmly.

Answers to the most common questions before your fineline tattoo.
How much does a fineline tattoo cost?
It depends on the size, placement, level of detail and whether it needs one or more sessions. A small wrist symbol isn't priced like a botanical piece on the forearm. Message us on WhatsApp with your idea, the placement and a rough size, and we'll send you a free, no-obligation quote.
Does fineline hurt?
It usually hurts less than other styles because it's done with fine needles and no large areas of fill, and many pieces are finished in one short session. Still, it depends on the area and the person: ribs, ankles and collarbones tend to be more sensitive. Come rested, fed and hydrated and it will be much easier.
Can I swim after getting a fineline tattoo?
Not until it's healed. Keep it out of the sea, pools and saunas, and away from direct sun, for the first couple of weeks. Wash it with water and mild soap, apply a thin layer of cream and don't pick at it. Once healed, use high SPF: fine lines fade faster in the sun. If in doubt about your health, ask your doctor.
Does fineline fade over time?
All lines soften a little with age, and fine lines show it more. That's why we take care with line depth and recommend a size with enough space between details. With a well planned design, good aftercare and sun protection, a fineline tattoo stays beautiful for a long time, and it can be touched up if needed.
