Wanted a sleeve for years and finally took the plunge

Originally started off wanting a maori sleeve but changed my mind half way through!

Still got 2 sittings to go. Thought id post some progress




1 sitting










2nd sitting








Then totally changed my mind and went with a mandala piece and dotwork











4th sitting more mandala and pattern work







5th sitting just done today
















So far im 15 hours in. Only another 6 or so to go!

Coming together i think

Nice work.

I have a religious black and grey sleeve done with soft shading techniques.

I don't know about you but the elbow being done was by far the worst pain, worse than the inside of the bicep and up into the armpit.

Looking forward to seeing the finished article.

Too much of a mosh-mash of styles for me but that doesn't what I think really, as long as you're happy

It's great quality though.

That looks great. It is a mix of styles but does seem to work together.
Would love a sleeve and been looking at designs for a few years now.
Keep updating this, wanna see the finished article

For me it was the inner elbow. It nipped like crazy, i didnt actually mind the elbow just vibrated a bit

I have booked a full day extra to do the top to match the bottom (white ink and more shading)

Very artistic. Lot of skill on the part of the tatooist

Please excuse my curiosity but how long does something like that take and what does it cost?

So far had 7 sittings at 3 hours a go. So that's 21 hours, at £70 and hour thats £1470 so far.

Still got 3 hours on the lower arm to go. And I'm also going to get more detail in the top half to blend it in a bit better so probably another 6 on that

I couldn't think of anything worse to do to myself - a bit like your view of the gym ;-)

Fair play to you tho pal !!

[Juz5i]

Yeah you've got yourself a decent artist there mate. Good clear strong lines.
I considered a sleeve years back (a 3/4 one it was going to be)
I spent years thinking/researching/planning what I'd like but never bothered in the end because they became so popular.

I have a big rib piece done though which I love and it's nicely hidden away. (Japanese/Koi style)

Todays update

Getting there

['V']

Like that a lot. Top work.
Desperate to get a half sleeve done just can't seem to stick to a design long enough LOL.

You pleased with it?

[Jase 320d]

Im happy with the bottom half.

I made an arse of the style at the top but i've got a day booked on the top section to help it blend in a bit better. More pattern work and maybe white ink over the black bits

And theres bits and bobs on the bottom section that needs finished (wrist and other sections)

Certainly a long process
