What should the line weights (line thickness) be in my design?

We understand how important details can be in a tattoo design!

But remember: don't choose lines that are too thin or too close together. This increases the chances of your design smudging during application. Lines should be between 4px and 8px wide.

💁🏾♀️ Pro Tip: The smaller the tattoo, the thicker the lines should be!

When are thinner lines OK?

Adding some thinner lines is a good way to add dimension to your design. The overall outline of a design should be 8px, but if it tapers off in some areas or has thinner lines in more detailed areas, that's totally fine!
