How much does a fineline tattoo cost?
Our starting price for fineline tattoos is 80 €. Depending on the design, size, and location, the cost may be several hundred pounds. We will advise you individually and provide a transparent price before each session.
How long do fineline tattoos last?
With proper care, the fineline tattoos we create remain beautiful for a very long time. Sun protection, regular moisturising and following our aftercare instructions are all crucial factors. This will enable you to enjoy your tattoo for many years to come.
What is a fineline tattoo?
It is a tattoo style that uses particularly thin needles, often just a single one. This creates airy, elegant, minimalist designs.
What are fineline tattoos?
Fineline tattoos are elegant, minimalist designs with fine lines. They require a highly skilled tattoo artist to execute correctly, as even the slightest inaccuracy would be visible. At Mugshot Tattoo Berlin, our specialised artists have years of experience in this precise technique.
Which needle is used for a fineline tattoo?
We use single needles or the smallest needle modules for fineline tattoos. This enables us to create precise lines, subtle contours and detailed motifs.
How long does a fineline tattoo take?
A small tattoo often takes only 10 to 20 minutes. However, you should allow 30–45 minutes in total for preparation and aftercare. The larger and more detailed the tattoo, the longer the session will take. On average, our customers spend around two to two-and-a-half hours in the studio for a fine-line tattoo at Mugshot Tattoo Berlin.
What do fine-line tattoos look like after several years?
The fine-line tattoos we create retain their delicate elegance for many years, provided they are cared for properly. This includes sun protection, regular moisturising and maintaining healthy skin. It is also important that there are no significant weight fluctuations, and that the tattoo is in a suitable body location (e.g. the forearm, thigh or calf). Under these conditions, a fine-line tattoo from Mugshot Tattoo Berlin will still look fantastic even after five years.
How long does a fine-line tattoo take to heal?
Depending on skin type, size and location on the body, a fineline tattoo usually takes 2 to 4 weeks to heal. Careful aftercare is particularly important during this time.
How long should I refrain from swimming after getting a fineline tattoo?
You should refrain from swimming, bathing and going to the sauna for 3–4 weeks after getting a fineline tattoo so that it can heal optimally.
How long should I wait before doing sports after getting a fine-line tattoo?
Light exercise is possible after a few days, but intense sports should be avoided for five to seven days to prevent friction and sweat from affecting the fresh tattoo.
How long should I apply cream to a fineline tattoo?
We recommend applying special tattoo cream to your tattoo for two to four weeks. After that, applying a normal body lotion with sun protection should be sufficient to keep the lines looking beautiful.
When should I have a fineline tattoo redone?
A fineline tattoo should only be retouched if there are small visible irregularities or the lines are not as clear as they should be. If you are unsure, you can send us a photo at any time and we will check it for you. At Mugshot Tattoo Berlin, retouching is free of charge within two months of the appointment.

Julie KasinskiTrustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. Came to Berlin to visit friends. Left with a croissant tattoo. As you do. My friends surprised me with a birthday tattoo and I thought, “No way I’ll find a good walk-in spot on short notice.” It felt like Frodo trying to drop that ring into Mount Doom: long and challenging. Enter Mugshot Tattoo Berlin, aka the Rivendell of tattoo studios. Suddenly, the clouds parted. Birds sang. Bureaucracy vanished. I walked in and it was like the tattoo gods whispered "YOU ARE WELCOME HERE". Rita was an angel throughout the process: kind, clear, and with the organizational powers of a Virgo at peak performance. She explained everything perfectly. Then came Saskic, the tattoo artist. A man with the talent to ink masterpieces… who graciously accepted to immortalize a tiny buttery French pastry on my arm. (Sorry Saskic, I know this was not your Mona Lisa. But hey, not every day can be Renaissance day.) You treated my tiny croissant like it was the Sistine Chapel and for that, I bow to you. The whole process was fast, smooth, clear, and shockingly pleasant. The studio? Gorgeous. The team? Adorable. They even collect dog food for animal shelters, so they’re not just tattoo artists: they are guardian angels with needles. Now every time I look at my little croissant, I smile. Not just because it’s cute (which it is, obviously), but because it came from such a good, kind, and badass place. I got my Frenchiest tattoo in Germany and honestly? Love it. Would 100% come back. Maybe for a pretzel. Maybe for a baguette. Maybe for a full sleeve of European carbs. Anything is possible now. Thank you Mugshot: you are legends. 🥐❤️ Hannah KeoghTrustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. Got some walk in tattoos here with friends while visiting Berlin.
