Keep your creativity special and make it your own with a custom designed sleeve. Don’t worry, they may look intimidating, but like a bird sometimes you just need to spread your wings and fly.
Speaking of birds, in terms of the layout this is one good looking tattoo. All jokes aside, a popular design is actually a beautiful layer of feathers draped ever so gently up the arm.
The softness of the shading, along with a sharp eye for design will take the feather tattoo to the next level. While some enjoy sky high thrills, let’s bring it back down to earth for the animal lovers.
A sleeve tattoo can be highly detailed, or in some cases even very simple. Think about the lines on a Zebra. Those lines are for a purpose and cause camouflage situations when necessary. If you were to envelope your arm in stripes like a Zebra, it may not be that appealing in reality. The best move is to stop and think, also remember that you are not a Zebra.
A design such as stripes or spots will be gorgeous in your mind, but the wrong artist can have you on the front pages of the most scandalous of social blogs. Of course you don’t want the latter, so the best idea for a sleeve that incorporates these patterns is the art of subtlety. You want to show the idea, without looking like a Zebra for lack of better words.
So you have your pattern planned and are ready to go. Only thing is you can’t seem to think of anyone who does animal pattern style designs. You will need to research their prior work before just jumping into the chair. Don’t let your wants overtake your needs.
You need an amazing tattoo, although you want it now. Have patience and everything will come together, you’ll have a great sleeve tattoo!
Bam! Flower power girl! Check out those blooms. How cool is this full arm sleeve women’s floral themed tattoo? I love the three giant flowering blooms and varies hues of pinks and reds that are so pretty to look at. To separate each flower the addition of leafy greens works wonderfully well. Take a close look at the center of each flower beyond the petals and you’ll also find a cool, vibrant blue seed detail.

Holy cow! This female mandala sleeve tattoo is simply incredible. The beautiful pattern gracefully covers her entire arm, forearm and the tip of her shoulder.

Let’s face it, nature is simply a beautiful thing. Who doesn’t want to get lost in the wonder of the world? I’m talking about the soaring trees, majestically flying birds, glistening streams of water, colorful leaves that scatter the ground and so on. With this sleeve tattoo, they’ve managed to capture all of those beautiful elements into one stunning realistic 3D piece of body art. It starts with a stone angel statue on the ground, then progresses to leafy tree branches, a fisher on the lake, more trees, a gigantic mountain, and finally the sky filled with birds. It’s quite easy to get lost in this awesome female tattoo.
Go girly! Here’s a cute example of how you can combine all sorts of different symbols, objects and things into one creative sleeve piece. You truly don’t have to have a giant sleeve that makes everything flow ever so perfectly. Mix things up, make it unique and get as artistic and creative as you want. Even with the wild usage of colors on this female sleeve tattoo, it still makes for a fun, eye-catching design.
A unique take on Alice in the Wonderland, this sleeve tattoo places a heavy emphasis on artistic creativity. While I’m not personally a fan of portrait tattoos, I do like how well this design flows. By this, I mean the placement of the female portrait is perfect at the top of the arm, while the small elements gradually fade down the arm. It works out quite well.
