A full sleeve is not for the fainthearted or the meek, and it can look beautiful and amazing.
A sleeve tattoo means that your entire arm, from shoulder to wrist, is covered with tattoos. This means you can fill that space however you want.
You can fit as many different tattoos as you wish in this skin real estate, but it’s generally better if they mesh and blend well with each other to create a harmonious appearance.
A running theme to connect a full sleeve is often beneficial. This thematic cohesion takes some long-term planning but can be really rewarding in the end.
If you are more the impulsive type, however, a full sleeve can consist of tattoos that simply accumulate over time and are not thematically connected. Bordering designs can be added to create the illusion of cohesion or a mosaic effect.
Another choice is to get a matching sleeve on your other arm. This look takes the look to another level since both arms will be covered in tattoos. You can continue similar tattoos from the other arm like a storybook or start anew.
Geometric patterns also look amazing for full sleeve tattoos, as the bigger the design, the more impressive the effect. Sometimes these can even morph into optical illusions that will make your arms mesmerizing.
No matter what design you decide upon, it’s tough to look away from a full sleeve tattoo.
