Sleeve Tattoo Designs For Girls
This article is about sleeve tattoo designs for girls. If you are looking for sleeve tattoo ideas for men please visit our Sleeve Tattoo Designs For Men page.
Sleeve tattoo designs are among the most popular large sized tattoo designs with women. Sleeve tattoo designs cover a significant portion of an arm and are so called because of their resemblance to sleeves on a shirt. Sleeve tattoo designs commonly cover either the full are from the top of the upper arm to the wrist, or half of the arm from the upper arm to the elbow, or the elbow to the wrist.

Being a relatively large area, the arm provides a real opportunity to ink a striking and hugely impressive piece of body art. As sleeve tattoo designs cover a large continuous area, the designs themselves look best when they have been well planned. Some girls choose a single design such as a tribal or celtic design, and extend the same design over the whole sleeve area. Plant designs containing flowers, vines and leaves flowing down the arm are also very popular. Other girls prefer to have several individual design elements such as butterflies, birds, or stars, held together in a unifying theme, often by some underlying background art.

The upper arm is considered to be a less painful area to tattoo than the forearm, although the size and complexity of the design will also impact the associated pain by determining how long the tattooing process lasts for. Large, complex designs take longer to ink, meaning that pain has to be endured for longer. Larger, more complicated sleeve tattoo designs also tend to cost more, although the reputation of your tattoo artist, as well as the colours used, will also impact upon the cost. Ultimately, I believe it is worth paying a bit more to get the design that you really want.
For further sleeve tattoo design ideas I suggest browsing the Tattoo Designs area of this site. I also strongly recommend that you think sign up with some premium online tattoo design galleries. Two online galleries that I highly recommend are the Chopper Tattoo and Tattoo Me Now tattoo design galleries. Both of these galleries contain thousands upon thousands of premium quality tattoo designs that can be browsed online at your leisure, and printed out to take to your tattoo artist for a consultation. Too many people make the big mistake of only looking for free designs using a search engine. I don’t recommend this strategy as you will end up wasting hours of your time looking at poor quality free designs. Exposing yourself to low quality designs also increases the risk that you will ink a design that you will later regret. Tattoos are permanent, and it really is worth a few extra dollars to get access to thousands of top quality tattoo designs in the online premium tattoo galleries.
