Looking for the right sleeve tattoo designs? There are so many
factors that go into the sleeve tattoo design that is right for you.
First,
you should consider the time and money investment involved in these
types of tattoos. These factors alone are especially important as any
tattoo that takes up your whole sleeve, from your shoulder down to your
wrist, will typically take hundreds of hours and can cost thousands of
dollars. That brings us to another point: make sure you have the
complete budget for you tattoo before you begin the job. As sleeve work
costs more and usually takes more work than the average type of tattoo,
you definitely don't want to run out of your money while you're only
half-way done with the expected job. This happens more often than you
would expect. So just make sure you "think before you ink!"
Another obvious ingredient to your sleeve tattoo is the design. The
great thing about these tattoos if that even though the take up much
space and impose quite a presence on your body, they can either be
predominately masculine or feminine. It all depends on you and what you
want to represent. It is not a gender specific thing. Some female sleeve
tattoos go the hard-core route and get skull tattoos, some men get them
with beautiful, vibrant colors. It depends if you want to represent the
more Hippie-style or more of that Punk look.
Some of the most beautiful designs can be represented as Japanese sleeve
tattoos. Many people opt for the Japanese tattoos as the symbols are
elegant and have deep meaning. A great addition for many women is the
flower tattoo. Many women want to express their femininity by with
flower designs.
