Placement

The timeless hand-drawn tattoo style lends itself to all kinds of placements, including but not limited to, the following:

  • ankles
  • etc.

With few details, the result is a bit abstract, extremely poetic, and straightforward. The single line blackwork tattoo may look light. However, it actually takes a lot of precision to finish them.

Some single line tattoos can take up to one hour. Depending on the size and placement of this tattoo, it could take hours to complete.

Pain

While this tattoo is minimalistic, this doesn’t necessarily mean minimal pain. A long line can hurt just as much as any other tattoo.

It’s best to get the single line style in one shot because you want the lines to be perfect.
