| Sleeve Tattoos |
Before making a sleeve tattoo design, you need to decide first which kind of sleeve tattoo you want. It is categorized into three areas based on how much part of your arms will be covered with the tattoo. They are full sleeve, half sleeve, or quarter sleeve. Full sleeve is from shoulder blade to wrist, so the tattoo will cover your whole arm. Half sleeve tattoo is from your shoulder blade to your elbow. So you still can cover the tattoo easier with a long-sleeved shirt if you want. if you ask for a quarter sleeve tattoo, then you will have a tattoo from your elbow to your wrist.
After you decide which one suits you best, learn more about tattoo styles and pick one you like most. Take time to search for the best tattoo artist who can help you. every tattoo artist has their own style and specialty. Choose one who you feel suits you best. and consult this with your tattoo artist because it really worth the time and effort. Remember, arms are the part of your body which can easily be seen an of course you don't want to have something you can find so many in common just because you randomly pick a design in a catalog to save your time. Take your time, no need to rush. If you have already had a tattoo or more on your arm, ask for a design from your tattoo artist which can connect the tattoos to be one style design for your arm. Usually, you can connect them by adding background with smokes, flames, or swirls, depends on the style of your design.
Be sure to ask about the price because getting a sleeve tattoo can be very expensive, depending to the tattoo artists and the complexity of the design. The more complex a design is, the more expensive it will be. Don't forget to anticipate the shape of your arms so that the design can be seen nicely despite the circular angle of the arm.
Pick the time when you have so much spare time because the making of the tattoo may take more than one session to be completed. It depends on the complexity of the design and your toleration of the pain. Besides that, some designs need more time for the healing first before the tattoo can be continued. So, how long your sleeve tattoo will be completed may vary from weeks to months.
