Don't shrink fine lines too far

Lines that sit very close together can blur into each other as a tattoo ages. Each PDF here is set so the lines print at least 0.3 mm thick with clear space between them. If you scale a design down a lot, check that the gaps between lines are still easy to see on paper.

Questions

What is the smallest size I can print these at?

The size shown under each design is a safe minimum. Going much smaller packs the lines too close together.

Can I combine two designs?

Yes. Print both at the same scale, cut them out and arrange them on the skin or on paper before transferring.

Are these good for a first tattoo?

Fine lines are harder to keep even than bold ones. If you are practising, start with the easy stencils and come back to these.
