— Heart Tattoo
Heart Tattoo — fine line, small, deeply personal.
A heart isn't a trend. It's the most direct way to mark something that stays. At Sinkply we tattoo heart motifs exclusively in the fine line style — as a clean silhouette, as a continuous single line, or with botanical detail. Single needle, precise, in our studio at Staffelstrasse 8 in Zurich Wiedikon. Most common placements: inner wrist, chest near the collarbone and behind the ear. Led by Aroa.

Frequently asked
How big is a typical heart tattoo? +
Most heart tattoos sit between 1.5 and 4 cm. Tiny silhouettes on the wrist or behind the ear often stay below 2 cm. More detailed variants — with internal linework, shading or botanical elements — need 3 to 5 cm of height so the linework stays readable for years.
Which placements work best for a heart tattoo? +
Inner wrist, chest near the collarbone and behind the ear are the three most common placements. Inner forearm and ankle also work very well. Fingers and palms are possible but won't hold as long — the skin renews itself faster there.
What variants exist? +
Three main directions: a pure silhouette (one closed shape, very minimal), a continuous single-line variant (one uninterrupted stroke), and a figurative heart with details — vines, initials, small blossoms or an anatomical accent. We pick the variant together in the consultation based on your references.
Is a heart tattoo a good first tattoo? +
Yes, often the most common entry piece. A small heart on the wrist or inner forearm is discreet and reads instantly. Many of our clients start with a heart and return later for a second piece.
How long does the session take? +
The session is planned individually. We take our time during the consultation and discuss the schedule before any needle touches skin.
How much does a heart tattoo cost in Zurich? +
From around CHF 150 for 30 min · Exact price after sharing your idea on WhatsApp. Includes consultation, second-skin patch and free touch-ups.
