--- type: best_category_state name: "Best fine line tattoo shops in California" category: "fine-line" state: "California" abbr: "CA" shops: 26 url: https://www.localtattoos.com/best/fine-line/california/ --- # Best fine line tattoo shops in California 26 shops in California that reviewers mention for fine line tattooing, each with at least 25 Google reviews. ## How this is ranked Shops are ordered by a Bayesian-adjusted rating: (n × rating + 320 × 4.79) ÷ (n + 320), where n is the shop's Google review count, 320 is the median review count across the directory and 4.79 is the directory-wide mean rating. Only shops with at least 25 reviews qualify; ties go to the shop with more reviews. Ordering is computed at build time from two facts per shop — its Google rating and its Google review count. One listing per street address, and nobody paid for a position. ## Ranked shops | # | Shop | City | Rating | Reviews | Reviewers mention | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [Paradise tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/santa-cruz/paradise-tattoo.md) | Santa Cruz | 5.0 | 2,200 | Fine Line, Custom Tattoo Designs, Online Booking | | 2 | [Sailor's Grave Tattoo Gallery](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-diego/sailor-s-grave-tattoo-gallery.md) | San Diego | 5.0 | 889 | American Traditional, Script / Lettering, Fine Line | | 3 | [Black Serum Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-francisco/black-serum-tattoo.md) | San Francisco | 5.0 | 563 | Minimalist / Micro, Fine Line, Japanese / Irezumi | | 4 | [The Honorable Society Tattoo Shop](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/west-hollywood/the-honorable-society-tattoo-shop.md) | West Hollywood | 4.9 | 1,700 | Minimalist / Micro, American Traditional, Script / Lettering | | 5 | [Mantle Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/los-angeles/mantle-tattoo.md) | Los Angeles | 4.9 | 909 | American Traditional, Script / Lettering, Fine Line | | 6 | [Modo Ink Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/orange/modo-ink-tattoo.md) | Orange | 4.9 | 827 | Fine Line, Aftercare Products, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 7 | [Costello Tattoo & Piercing Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/sherman-oaks/costello-tattoo-piercing-studio.md) | Sherman Oaks | 4.9 | 512 | Minimalist / Micro, Fine Line, Geometric / Mandala | | 8 | [Rock Bottom Tattoo Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-diego/rock-bottom-tattoo-studio.md) | San Diego | 4.9 | 491 | Fine Line, Geometric / Mandala, Black & Grey | | 9 | [UFF Tattoo & Piercing San Diego](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-diego/uff-tattoo-piercing-san-diego.md) | San Diego | 5.0 | 116 | American Traditional, Script / Lettering, Fine Line | | 10 | [TATTOO HOUSE](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-francisco/tattoo-house.md) | San Francisco | 5.0 | 115 | Minimalist / Micro, American Traditional, Fine Line | | 11 | [Ian Reynold Tattoos](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-francisco/ian-reynold-tattoos.md) | San Francisco | 5.0 | 98 | Fine Line, Flash Tattoos Available, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 12 | [1904 Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-diego/1904-tattoo.md) | San Diego | 5.0 | 95 | Minimalist / Micro, American Traditional, Script / Lettering | | 13 | [Tattoo Temple](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-diego/tattoo-temple.md) | San Diego | 5.0 | 81 | Fine Line, Japanese / Irezumi, Geometric / Mandala | | 14 | [Dream Masters Custom Tattoos Sweden](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-francisco/dream-masters-custom-tattoos-sweden.md) | San Francisco | 4.9 | 191 | Fine Line, Japanese / Irezumi, Black & Grey | | 15 | [Propaganda Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-diego/propaganda-tattoo.md) | San Diego | 4.9 | 177 | American Traditional, Script / Lettering, Fine Line | | 16 | [Motis Tattoos](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/los-angeles/motis-tattoos.md) | Los Angeles | 4.9 | 115 | Fine Line, Custom Tattoo Designs, Online Booking | | 17 | [Lincoln Tattoo Company](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/los-angeles/lincoln-tattoo-company.md) | Los Angeles | 4.9 | 95 | Minimalist / Micro, Fine Line, Walk-ins Welcome | | 18 | [Castro Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-francisco/castro-tattoo.md) | San Francisco | 4.8 | 130 | Fine Line, Black & Grey, Realism / Portrait | | 19 | [American Electric Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/los-angeles/american-electric-tattoo.md) | Los Angeles | 4.8 | 102 | American Traditional, Fine Line, Walk-ins Welcome | | 20 | [Timeless Tattoo & Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/los-angeles/timeless-tattoo-piercing.md) | Los Angeles | 4.7 | 241 | American Traditional, Fine Line, Aftercare Products | | 21 | [Picture Machine Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-francisco/picture-machine-tattoo.md) | San Francisco | 4.4 | 60 | Script / Lettering, Fine Line, Walk-ins Welcome | | 22 | [Nothing Sacred Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-diego/nothing-sacred-tattoo.md) | San Diego | 4.6 | 169 | Fine Line, Black & Grey, Walk-ins Welcome | | 23 | [Eye of the Tiger Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/california/san-francisco/eye-of-the-tiger-tattoo.md) | San Francisco | 4.5 | 100 | Script / Lettering, Fine Line, Japanese / Irezumi | | 24 | [Blind Nobility -
