Full Sleeve Tattoo Techniques

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.

Restrictions are not only limited to military installations but are also present in private companies. There are companies that have banning regulations against full sleeve tattoos or any visible tattoos so be aware of this fact.

If you already have a few pieces on your arm, it is imperative that the theme fits these existing tattoos otherwise you will lose the whole flowing effect.

Naturally, a tattoo artist can assist in making the decision as to the scale and placement of tattoo sleeve ideas. As a precautionary measure, people start their tattooing endeavour with just a few randomly placed tattoos. Later, these tattoos are bridged together to become one significant piece.

A full sleeve tattoo will most likely take a couple of weeks to complete (sometimes even months or longer). This largely depends on how elaborate the design is and pain tolerance. It is important that you allow healing time from swelling to get the best results.

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.
