Tattoos done by talented artists can truly be a work of art. Tattoos are wonderful because they are inked right into your skin. With a few good designs, you can easily turn your body into a lovely piece of art. Indeed, your body can be a canvass with tattoos!
Tattoos can be placed anywhere on your body that you choose. Tattoo placement is your own personal choice. One of the most popular types of tattoos that many people choose to get is sleeve tattoo designs.
What is a tattoo sleeve?
You may be wondering what exactly a tattoo sleeve is. It is basically a design or combination of designs that covers a large portion of your body. The tattoo will cover up so much of your body that nobody will be able to see your skin underneath! Your tattoo sleeve design can be anything you want, and you can include all the patterns, symbols, and objects you wish.
As its name suggests, the tattoo sleeve is usually found on the arms. There are a few different choices: the full sleeve, which covers the entire arm; half sleeve, which covers the arm from the elbow to the wrist; and the quarter sleeve that covers the arm from the bicep to the shoulder. Your tattoo sleeve doesn't have to be on your arms---you can also get it on your legs! The sleeve tattoo does not merely cover the top part of your leg or arm, it wraps all the way around the arm or leg so that it can live up to its name.
You can look online for some sleeve tattoo ideas and pictures for ideas. These tattoos are very beautiful and unique, and come become a true work of art all on its own. The best part is that it is a true work of art on your body! Planning and preparing for a tattoo sleeve can be a bit time consuming, but is still vital nonetheless. A well planned tattoo design can be an amazing piece of art, but a poorly planned one that you just rush through to get can be ugly.
Whenever you take a sleeve tattoo into consideration, you must pay attention to the cost. These designs are not cheap at all. In fact, they can be pretty expensive! This is especially true if you want something intricate, such as a Celtic tattoo sleeve. Complex tattoos can cost thousands!
Since sleeve tattoos cover such a large portion of your body and are often detailed, you won't be getting it all completed in just one session. You'll more than likely have to visit the tattoo shop many times to get it worked on. A tattoo sleeve can take as much as 18 hours to get done! Your artist will break the sessions up and fix a schedule that will suit the both of you.
Don't take your decision to get a tattoo sleeve design lightly. You need to spend a lot of time and money in the chair before it's completed. Obviously, you need to plan the design out very carefully before going in for multiple sessions! Terry Daniels
