Could I ask for pics of your sleeve tattoos please?

Hi all,

New to posting in this section but I already have six tattoos of various sizes, the largest covering most of my lower back and right shoulder blade.

I'm currently toying with the idea of an animal themed sleeve, just researching ideas and drawing up some of my own currently.

I'd love to see everyone's beautiful sleeve artworks if you wouldn't mind sharing Smile

It's not a sleeve but does go the length of my arm 😂

Ooh that's nice Smile
I'm thinking of having lots of small tattoos too make up the sleeve, but I can't decide if I want some space between them all? I don't want it to be really dark. My husband has a full sleeve and his is quite dark but I like it on him, I just don't think it would suit me being so dark.

@TheLolaMontez my favourite ever band!
I won't post my sleeve cause it'll be outed in a shot but no one sees this in real life..

TheLolaMontez · 21/11/2019 13:13

Ha excellent Grin do you have finger tattoos too? I'm contemplating those also, I'm pregnant at the moment so I'm forward planning!

Yes but I've had to have mine gone over 3/4 times now, they are so hard to keep looking decent. I do love them though!

TheLolaMontez · 21/11/2019 13:20

Ah I did wonder about them fading. DH also has his hand and fingers tattooed but it's faded a bit in certain areas

Thumbs are the worst! You need to wear rubber gloves whenever your hands get wet etc until they heal. It's an absolute pain but if you have the patience for it then it's definitely worth it!

Is your sleeve one big joined up piece or do you have gaps? I've had mixed responses about the gaps in my idea, although I know it only matters to me ultimately.

@TheLolaMontez my left arm is one big piece up to my elbow and my right is a lot of random stuff that I'm still working on. None of it matches or has any flow though but I like it like that Grin

Done last week. Love, love it.

That's kinda how I want mine,
@HiyaVera it's loads of random small tattoos but enough to make a sleeve. I'm quite keen on the idea I have

That's so cute and beautiful @Knowivedonewrong 😍

@TheLolaMontez so do it! It's only you you have to please Grin. You'll find loads to fill spaces with anyway to make it look like one piece. Clouds, shadows, smoke etc. Go for it!

TheLolaMontez · 21/11/2019 13:45

This is very true Smile I think I'll nip into the shop and see what they think Grin
