In 2024, all tattoo studios and artists aren’t equal. The choice of who to get work done from and the style of the art are decisions that shouldn’t be made at a moment’s notice. While tattoos aren’t necessarily permanent, the removal process is best avoided. In Los Angeles, fortunately, there’s a fantastic resource for body art enthusiasts, especially those who love fine-line tattooing – Blue Mason at the Apollo Tattoo Studio. It’s not going too far to think of the studio as the West Coast’s fine line tattooing Mecca and Blue Mason as a master of the style. If you attempt to get fine line work from an amateur, you shouldn’t be surprised if the results disappoint.
“The most common mistakes in tattoos are made with fine line attempts,” Mason commented, adding it’s also not a time to try to be frugal, “small or fine line tattoos are not cheap if you want them done well.”
What are fine line tattoos? Think black and gray art, focusing on thin lines, minimal shading, and art that leans into “looking real,” like portraits. The style, when done correctly, leverages minimalism and negative space. Less can be more in some of the most amazing tattoos. Check out Blue Mason’s Instagram to get a firm grasp of this concept delivered by a true Jedi with a tattoo gun. Portraits, lettering, flowers, land conceptual art. It’s all there. And if you have a great idea, speak up. The chances are he can make your dream body art a reality.
Mason has been tattooing for over 17 years, has won countless awards, and has reached the point where he doesn’t just tattoo celebrities but is correctly considered a celebrity himself in the tattooing world. He can comfortably deliver work in most tattoo styles, not just fine-line work, and loves taking on adventurous, creative projects that challenge his skills.
Before contacting Blue Moon to hook up with Mason, remember you get what you pay for. An elite tattoo artist, which he is, is in constant demand, and his time is not cheap. When you are transforming your body into a work of art, it’s worth every penny. A familiar story is a guy or girl who cuts corners for a cheap artist and ends up getting work they are embarrassed by. Finally, they can’t stand it anymore and have to spend more money on a cover-up or a series of removal sessions. Isn’t it better to get things done right the first time?
Mason’s work speaks for itself; explore his Instagram and see the range of his abilities. When you invest in a tattoo with Mason, it’s for art you will be proud of for a lifetime.
The agreement is simple: clients can expect to get the best service, work with an elite artist, and leave with the greatest tattoo possible. Aesthetics reign supreme in the City of Angels, and Blue Mason and Apollo Tattoo Studio manifest them in a magical way.
