Sleeve tattoo – a complete guide on how to fill your sleeve

Most people who get tattoos don’t have a plan for their entire body. Drawing here, drawing there, until the understanding comes that the body is covered almost completely – all that remains is to close small gaps. Stuffing your sleeve is like buying real estate. Where there is an opportunity to stuff the sleeve, there is room for both imagination and mistakes. If you are thinking about it, here are some very important tips..

Plan

Plan, plan and plan again. Plan who to contact – ask around and find someone who understands your vision and can get the exact tattoo that suits you. You should not choose a cheap master if he cannot do exactly what is required for you. If you devote time, money and leather to it, you need to make sure everything is done right. If you need to close the sleeve, your choices will not only be limited, but you will also pay much more than if you did everything right right away..

It is also worth planning the drawing. Create a folder – on your phone, on a social network – and fill it with ideas. Samples of a similar style, tattoos, photographs of animals / animals that should be part of the sleeve. The better your description and the more information you can provide to the master, the higher the likelihood that he will “see” what you need and will be able to assemble the sleeve exactly the way you want it..

Budget

Sleeves are not cheap. You will need several appointments with the master, and you will spend a couple of tens of thousands to get a quality work. Many people say that good work is not worth a penny, so a huge number of craftsmen require a deposit even for meetings and work with design, especially if drawing lines alone can take up to several hours. If you have a limited budget, say so, not forgetting that the master also needs to earn money. If you cannot afford a whole sleeve, you may have to agree to a compromise – half a sleeve, or split the price between appointments..

Consulting

When you are ready to post a deposit, when you have already chosen a master and put together a folder with ideas, it’s time to meet for a consultation. You bring everything you have prepared to the consultation. You sit down, discuss ideas and try to create something together. Listen to the master: if he says that something will not work, trust his experience. If there is something that is especially important to you, do not be silent about it. During the first consultation, you will also schedule a date for the first meeting, so take a calendar with you or keep in mind the dates when you can start. Remember that a good artist may have a calendar full of months ahead – so there is a high probability that your next meeting will not happen when you feel like it..

Tattoo

When it’s time for the meeting, make sure you have everything you need ready. Eat early, arrive on time, and take whatever the master asks for, including your ID. If for any reason you have to cancel the appointment, inform the foreman at least 24 hours before that – or discuss the conditions at the time of making the deposit. Bring a friend with you, a pillow, music – anything that can help you get through the experience. Then it’s time to sit back and enjoy the process.!
