The tattoos which are done on arms typically cover the arms in a way as shirt sleeves do, hence are called arm sleeves tattoos.
The arm sleeve tattoos can be of different lengths. A full sleeve tattoo is usually starts from the shoulder blade and is upto the wrist. A half sleeve one is from the shoulder upto the elbow whereas the quarter sleeve is done from the elbow region towards the wrist.
It is certain that tattoos are really very addictive. Many of the people who have somehow inked their body swear that they are looking forward to inking their other body parts. Despite the time, money, pain and efforts involved, tattoos seem to be the in thing for all those who indulge in it.
There are actually two ways in which a person can get a tattoo. First is by making a start with a small tattoo and then going all through to the sleeve for whole of the sleeve tattoo.
An arm sleeve tattoo normally starts with an individual design. After just one small design, a person may want to have more, so he or she can visit the shop where these designs are made and add additional one connecting that initial small one to make it much bigger now.
However it so happens that many people start by a full big tattoo right from the beginning and then they have to do in subsequent sessions with the tattoo artist. This would however take lot of imagination on their part to build on that beautiful tattoo.
Arm sleeve tattoos are done in several sessions which may last about an hour for each. Most of the full sleeve designs are done in about 20 sessions spread over 20 hours of total work. In all the entire work would take about 20 weeks if we go by one hour a week. Tattoos are fun to indulge in if you have the inclination toward them.
