Full Sleeve Tattoo Ideas

By Albert Patterson


Tattoo sleeve ideas involve either large tattoos or bunches of small random designs grouped together to cover most of the arms of their wearers. Usually carrying a centralized theme, these tattoo sleeve ideas are considered serious and committing tattoo styles that begin from the shoulder and continue down.

It is said that the most beautiful full sleeve tattoos are ones which revolve around a specific theme. Favourite themes for full sleeve tattoos include floral designs, Celtic themes, tribal tattoos, Japanese art, religious tattoos and much more.

As for personal convenience, one must remember that a person sheathed from shoulder to wrist with full sleeve tattoos is bound to feel very hot during the summer months.

Work closely with your tattoo artist so that you'll get an idea of how the whole thing would look BEFORE the actual work starts. Have the whole design created on paper first. If this is your first tattoo or you only have a couple of tattoos, try to talk to different artists so that you'll get a good feel of what each one is capable of. Then go with the one who is on the same page as you.

Whether the tattoo is going to be coloured or just black and grey hues, is the next consideration as far as tattoo sleeve ideas are concerned. A coloured tattoo sleeve often looks best though. To make full sleeve tattoos pop, adding vibrant details to the tattoo sleeves is an option whether for traditional old school tattoos or for mermaid and pin up designs.

A common technique that is used to achieve a flowing tattoo, is to add backgrounds to existing tattoos. Popular backgrounds include flame tattoos, smoke and swirls.

The problem as mentioned before is that tribal seems to have been overplayed in recent years, with everyone and their brother (and sister) jumping on the bandwagon. The trend seems to have died down somewhat, but many view this choice as a fashion statement that has come and gone.
