I met with Sam for a consultation about a tribute tattoo for my mom, and the meeting went great! He shared some amazing ideas to make the piece beautiful and meaningful while still keeping the main elements I wanted.

Stephany was very detailed oriented and did amazing on my tattoo! Only critique I had was that I did get my tattoo on my lower back, and there was not a divider for privacy. But the tattoo was 10/10!!!

My best friend and I were visiting NYC for the weekend and came to IGLA on a walk-in basis. From the friendly welcome and initial pricing consult to the design discussion and tattoo experience with our stylist, Alex, it was top notch across the board. Wonderful experience, would absolutely recommend.

IGLA is a great place. I live in another borough but was in midtown for something. I had extra time and began to search the area for shops. I have been wanting to get some small colored lettering work. There is a number of shops in the midtown area but IGLA made it so easy to reach out as a walk-in guest. They have a very easy form you may fill out online, and they also have a Whatsapp to message them with questions. It made everything very easy and I was able to stop in and have some tattoo art done and it came out exactly how I hoped. Overall price was a bit high but probably on par with other shops in the midtown area.

I was visiting New York and decided I wanted to get a permanent souvenir. The process to get booked at IGLA was seamless! Submitted a request on the website. Was contacted next day (I submitted after hours) and it was so easy! I got pair with Sergio and he was amazing. He made sure he knew exactly what I wanted. Let me play with the size, ensured he mapped out the exact placement and it turned exactly how I wanted it. 10/10 experience from the shop and Sergio, my artist! Thank you IGLA and Sergio!♥️

Frequently Asked Questions

How do fine-line tattoos heal?

Fine-line tattoos require a little extra care to keep those crisp lines sharp. Healing time is similar to other tattoos, but be sure to avoid rubbing, scratching, or exposing the tattoo to direct sunlight while it’s healing.

Pain varies from person to person, but fine-line tattoos are usually less painful than large, solid tattoos. The needle is smaller, and the lines are finer, so the experience tends to be less intense.

With the right care, your fine-line tattoo can last for years! Just keep in mind that they’re more delicate, so you’ll need to be extra careful to avoid fading over time.

Because fine-line tattoos are so detailed, they usually take a bit longer than regular tattoos. The time really depends on how intricate and big the design is, but in our opinion, it’s worth it!

Fine-line tattoos can fade a bit faster since they’re more delicate, but as long as you take good care of it and get touch-ups when needed, you’ll have it looking fresh for years.

Yes, absolutely! A lot of people with sensitive skin love fine-line tattoos because the application is lighter. Just make sure to talk with your artist first, to make sure your skin will be okay with the process.

Fine-line tattoos are usually better for smaller or more detailed designs, but yes, you can totally do bigger ones too. Just make sure the design stays clean and legible, especially on a larger area.

Yes, you can get a fine-line tattoo over scars or stretch marks! But, it’s a good idea to chat with your artist about it first. The texture of your skin might affect how the tattoo heals, so your artist will make adjustments to the design if needed.

They may need more touch-ups over time because of their delicate nature, but this really depends on factors like your skin type and how well you follow the aftercare instructions. Regular touch-ups will help keep your tattoo looking sharp.

 Fine-line tattoos can sometimes cost more due to the level of detail involved. They often take more time to complete, which can affect the price. But if you’re looking for something precise and intricate, it’s worth the investment!

While most fine-line tattoos are done in black, you can for sure add color! Just keep in mind that the color has to be applied carefully to keep it from overpowering the design, so it looks just as beautiful as you imagined.
