A steady eruption of sleeve tattoo designs seems to have emerged across the planet as people find the therapeutic addiction of tattooing. So what is a sleeve tattoo? It is basically either one large well thought out and planned massive tattoo or a collection of tattoos that has background added to them to cover either most of or all of the individual’s arm.

The term sleeve, accordingly represents the coverage of where a piece of clothing would lie. A full sleeve is tattooed from the wrist to the shoulder, a half sleeve covers from either the wrist to the elbow or the elbow to the shoulder and a quarter sleeve is generally the bicep to the shoulder.

Making the commitment to get a sleeve tattoo should not be taken lightly nor should it be a spur of the minute decision.
