Check out the Top 107 Sleeve Tattoo Ideas for more!
AI01
A sleeve tattoo is a major commitment, so a well mapped plan on executing the concept and style is important. Brainstorm with your artist and collaborate on how you want to get a large piece of body art onto your limb. The alternative to this method is piecing your sleeve together through a variety of individual tattoos. It takes more time to finish but can often be a more personal ink journey featuring variety in theme and application.
Choose something you won’t regret – Choose a design and placement that will remain relevant in 20 years. Personal milestones, your star sign, family name, and commemorating a loved one or pet are eternal ideas that won’t change, as are the topics you love.
Smart Small – Don’t be afraid to start with a small tattoo, you can always go bigger after learning about your taste for tattoo art (and the pain that comes with it)
Choose the right artist for your idea – Take the time to choose carefully, work out your budget, and talk to them before sitting in the chair for your first piece. I guarantee you that artists have seen everything, and can help you through the process
Think of future ink – If your first tattoo is just a stepping stone to bigger things, consider if your placement will hinder future tattoo plans, like sleeve tattoos or full pieces on the chest or back
Learn about color and style – Understand the differences between line tattoos, black and gray, and color body art, so that you won’t be surprised when they change with your skin
Tattoo health – Learn about tattoo aftercare. Knowledge is sensible, and smart for a commitment like tattoo
Have fun – Your first tattoo is scary, exhilarating, and exciting. It will be over quicker than you think
