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.

I have only gotten one other tattoo in Berlin, but I would consider the prices comparable for the most part. Considering that you're paying comparable, yet still getting quality service and artistry and with a timeframe that can often end up being same day or within 24 hours, it's all very impressive. I have and will continue recommending Mugshot Tattoo. As of this review I have 17 new tattoos I've gotten within the last 6ish months, a mixture of black & white and color, mostly realism. Cleanliness is on point. Everyone is super kind, pleasant and easy to work with. They speak English, German, and MANY other languages among the artists and support staff. Such a cool shop!

Gestern habe ich mir hier mein erstes Tattoo stechen lassen und ich bin wirklich mega happy, dass ich mich für dieses Studio entschieden habe. Alle waren total nett und hilfsbereit :) Da ich vorher kaum etwas gegessen hatte, wurde mir am Anfang kurz etwas schwindelig und ich habe ein bisschen schwarz gesehen. Die Tätowiererin hat sofort reagiert, mir ein Getränk und Traubenzucker gebracht und nach etwa fünf Minuten Pause ging es mir wieder gut. Danach war das Tätowieren total entspannt. Zudem hat es auch wirklich null wehgetan, obwohl es an meinem Handgelenk war. Ich hatte mir die Schmerzen viel schlimmer vorgestellt. Sie hat auch immer wieder nachgefragt, ob alles okay ist. Nach dem Tattoo wurde mir alles zur Pflege ganz genau erklärt und ich habe sogar noch eine extra Mail mit Infos bekommen. Ich finde es richtig schön, wie hier mit Kunden umgegangen wird und habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt. Mein Tattoo ist genau so geworden, wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe, und ich werde mir definitiv noch ein weiteres hier stechen lassen. Ich kann dieses Studio nur von Herzen weiterempfehlen! 🖤 Theodora GräwerTrustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. I've already had two Tattoos done at Mugshot. The first was for a smaller inscription, for which I spontaneously booked an Appointment the Day before, with Saskic. He was super friendly and did the Tattoo exactly as I had envisioned it. After this first incredibly positive experience, I discovered a Design by Masha (Synesthetic Tattoo) on Instagram that I immediately fell in love with. A large gothic floral Motive that took two day sessions. Masha is incredibly sensitive and empathetic; she makes sure you're comfortable and completely at ease. She is simply wonderful. I'm incredibly grateful for this positive experience and for now having this beautiful piece of Art on me. It definitely won't be my last Tattoo from Masha. I can highly recommend both her and Saskic. A wonderful, well-organized Studio in the Heart of Berlin ⭐️ Johann Paul EhlertTrustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. Vorab: Ich hatte Mega schiss mir ein tattoo stechen zu lassen. Alleine mir Gedanken zu machen, ein Motiv zu wählen ist mir extrem schwer gefallen. Enorm geholfen hat mir der tolle Umgang und die Professionalität der Mugshot Mitarbeiter! Ich habe mich enorm wohl gefühlt und wurde sehr freundlich durch den gesamten Prozess meines neuen Tattoos begleitet. Dafür 200€ zu bezahlen war es mir mehr als wert. Ich kann also jedem nur empfehlen, sich an dieses Studio zu wenden.
