Single needle tattooing refers to a tattooing technique that uses a single needle to create detailed, intricate designs. This method is often used for delicate work such as fine lines, dotwork, or realistic shading. The single needle allows for precise control, resulting in sharp lines and a more refined, detailed appearance compared to traditional tattooing techniques that use multiple needles. It’s popular for smaller, intricate tattoos, including portraits or micro tattoos.
