The arm is a large canvas and people choose to utilize this space by creating unique full and half (forearm)sleeve Little Mermaid tattoo designs. Some of the pieces in this collection feature a single subject-Ariel-on this large canvas, creating highly detailed portraits of this timeless Disney character.

Other designs bring other main characters into the spotlight, creating entire underwater seascapes that occupy the entirety of the wearer’s arm from wrist to shoulder.

For die hard Little Mermaid fans, the large size and high visibility of a sleeve is the only way to show their love of this Disney film to the world.
