Sleeve Tattoos Designs


One of the most common placement of tattoos is on the biceps or arms. We generally call them arm tattoos. But their real name is sleeve tattoos. Any tattoo that is done on the arm or leg, and covers a significant area, just like a sleeve, is called as a sleeve tattoo. There are mainly three different types of sleeve tattoos; full sleeve tattoos, half sleeve tattoos and quarter sleeve tattoos. The tattoo which covers the whole arm or leg is known as the full sleeve tattoo.


Similarly, half sleeve tattoo designs covers the hand from shoulder to elbow or from elbow to the wrist. On the leg this tattoo design is made from thigh to knee or from knee to ankle. Quarter sleeves are the smallest of sleeve tattoos as they cover the area between shoulder to bicep. Generally, one whole tattoo is preferred for sleeve designs, but you can also connect two or three small tattoos to make one sleeve tattoo. Following are the most popular sleeve tattoo designs.
As body art becomes more popular sleeve tattoo designs are increasingly more sort after. Detailed designs that in the past would not have looked that impressive are being done and the quality and clarity is amazing.


The designs that can be used for sleeve tattoos are endless be creative. Popular designs that I have seen range from cartoon strips, oriental themes through to tribal designs. You can use scenes that incorporate various landscape, this works well with tattoo sleeve designs. Be sure to use the experience of your chosen tattoo artist to get ideas and inspiration for your tattoo.



Colour Full Sleeve Tattoos

A sleeve tattoo design derives it's name from the way it looks on the wearer. An impression of a shirt sleeve is given by the tattoo design. Sleeve tattoo designs are typically done on the arm athough they can be inked on the leg also. Often they are a tattoo that covers the skin completely so none is showing through the ink. It is obivous why the name sleeve tattoo is given to the design.
