More often than not I get asked about full sleeve tattoo designs than any other type of tattoo design. You might have come across them without realizing what they were. But if youre curious about them they are not that hard to understand. Basically they are sleeve tattoos which covers the whole or almost all of the skin in a certain area usually the arm or leg.
If someone decides to get a design that does not cover the whole arm then that can be either a half sleeve tattoo or even a quarter sleeve tattoo. But you might still be wondering why full sleeve tattoo designs are called full sleeve. No its not a shirt sleeve you wear on your arm but the main reason they are called that is because after you get the design it looks a lot like someone wearing a shirt that is long sleeved.
By now youve realized full sleeve tattoo designs are not small tattoo designs so you might want to choose carefully what you want to get tattooed since the area to be tattooed is large. So to give you ideas of what to get, here are some popular designs that people who have gotten sleeve tattoos use.
To start with tribal tattoos are a great idea for sleeve tattoos. The reason is because tribal tattoo designs are large and can be spread over a wide space, perfect for sleeve tattoo design. Another reason is because tribal tattoos are perfect for guys who are the ones who usually get full sleeve tattoos because the strong bold black lines of can be really cool on guys unlike girl tattoo designs since most girls like cute tattoo designs.
Another good idea for full sleeve tattoo designs are floral designs or patterns. Most people consider this type of tattoos to be more of girl tattoos but it really does not have to be as floral tattoos are easily adapted for sleeve designs of any length
Two other ideas are the Celtic designs especially the Celtic knotwork whose intricate nature and the combination of large available space on the arm makes them perfect for anyone seeking a full sleeve tattoo.
Traditional Japanese Designs are also worth considering for full sleeve tattoo designs. They are quite popular amongst the sleeve tattoo lovers. With the long history of the Japanese when it comes to tattooing dating back thousands of years their more popular themes like cheery blossoms, samurai and koi fish can be intricately woven into a beautiful sleeve tattoo.
Due to the large size and intricacy of full sleeve tattoo designs they can take a bit of time to finish. They therefore need some commitment both from you and the tattoo artist. They typically done over a few sessions but the beauty of the finished work is usually worth it.
