What are some tips on getting a sleeve tatted/starting one?

Question

kitkatto · Accepted Answer

My brother is working on building up his sleeve. So far he started out with a LOT of research on the concept, style, and artist. Make sure you have a general idea or goal in mind of what you want in your sleeve. Whether you want it colored, black and grey, blackwork, new school, traditional, etc. Then look for an artist that can bring your vision to life. Discuss with them what your concept is, the plan, your budget, etc.

Then also consider the logistics. How many hours do you think you can handle per session? How many sessions do you want it to be broken down into? How many much are you willing to spend per session? Do they charge by piece or by hour?

Make sure you are sure sure sure that you want it. That's all because I don't have any tattoos hahaha. Pick an excellent tattoo artist that won't fck up 👌.

My advice is don't do it. You will regret it someday. It's also bad for your health. === Tattoo ink travels through the body and may cause long-term risks

I guess just make sure you know what you want, plan it out, do a good deal of research, and save some money, and prepare for the long haul since they take some time.. Make sure you know you actually want it as well..

Starting a sleeve is exciting! First, choose a theme or story you want it to represent. Find an experienced artist whose style resonates with your vision. Schedule a consultation to discuss your ideas and placement. Think about how the designs will flow together on your arm. Start with a smaller piece and build gradually, allowing time for healing. Keep in mind the colors and details that will complement each other. Remember, it’s a commitment, so be sure it’s something you’ll love for years to come! 🖤

Choose artwork you are prepared to live with for the rest of your life. This is not as easy as it sounds.  I have 4 tattoos and none of them are great quality, but they ALL have meaning to me and that is far more important than the artwork itself.

MemeSupreme · Answer

ask them before getting the tattoo so you know FOR SURE instead of second guessing anything we tell you lol

just be prepared for long sessions, eat before hand, don't shave (they will if they need to), and just communicate with them. you CAN take breaks and don't get cheap awful tattoos

EmmaMary · Answer

@kittygosmeoww  My tip would be to seriously consider never getting any tattoos in the first place... Sorry.

Just make sure it’s something you can live with the rest of your life , something that isn’t going to make you kick yourself in the ass for further down the road , I have 2 tatts now that I am happy with that I had for quite sometime now , so as long as you get something you will appreciate for the long haul , then go for it

Never really understood why people these days are so obsessed with tattoo's it's like putting graffiti over the mona lisa.

itsannalee · Answer

Tattoo is about what you like to do, not about people opinions. Do the tattoo base on what you Like to, or ask the artist to make the design from your story. That’s how some tattoos have meanings behind them.

My tip is to not do it. You'll be significantly limiting yourself in terms of men who will be interested in you, and you'll be branding yourself as low class on a part of your body that will be hard to hide when you reach the age when you begin to feel the inevitable regret that plagues people with tattoos.

The elbow area is going to hurt the most. Prepare...

Miristheiss · Answer

Be a vulgar person who is a sheep and follows the crowd. High quality women do not get tattoos.

Surely · Answer

My advice would be not to get one. Especially one that can not be covered with normal clothing. Some employers would not hire you. If covered with tattoos.

Do your research on artists. Don't go with someone just because they are local or cheap. You are stuck with it for the rest of your life so find someone capable of doing what you want how you want it

Shiprex · Answer

Be willing to sit still for LONG periods of time and make sure you are certain of the design

exitseven · Answer

how about dont do it. They look hideous for one thing. Also when you cover large areas of your body with ink, some of that ink leaches into your body, with toxic consequences.

Staximus · Answer

Think about it for a good long while. Then think about it for like 6 a year more. When you're old and you look at your arm, do you want to think "I'm glad I got this tattoo" or "why did I get this stupid shit on my arm?"?

PaleDale · Answer

Make sure it's not toxic stuff and is clean

LiamS95 · Answer

Personally I think sleeve tattoos and any high coverage tattoos on a women ruin her looks and natural beauty.

Who u gonna get tattooed on urself u better be careful

Gaylordslav · Answer

People just get individual tattoos then bring them all together with clouds, rose vines or waves. Unless you have a large piece in mind that is one tattoo and not a collage

Bklynbadboy12 · Answer

Just get a good tattoo artist and don't get anything crazy. Your gonna look amazing with a sleeve

CB-Raido-Time · Answer

A better way to state the question would be what could cheapen and degrade a female's appearance than having a tattoo.
