Sleeve Tattoo Designs - Tribal, Japanese and Dragon Tattoos Around Your Arms Or Legs

Sleeve tattoos are pieces of body art that's performed on the limbs of the body and tend to wrap around the limb in a sleeve-like fashion. Done in 3 different ways: quarter sleeve, half sleeve and full sleeve, this type of tattoo is now one of the most popular types of body art performed.


Sleeve tattoos, like every other type of tattoo tend to have their most prominent and most common types of designs. For example: Tribal, Japanese and Dragon sleeve tattoos are constantly requested in tattoo parlours throughout the world.


Tribal, Japanese and Dragon tattoo designs generally have a very artistic and spiritual look and appeal to the tattoo and are therefore very popular among male tattoo enthusiasts. Females who enjoy getting tattoos rendered tend to go for more feminine artwork, such as flowers and animal sleeve tattoos.


As with any piece of permanent body art, sleeve tattoos cannot be removed without using an extremely invasive procedure that will damage the skin for the rest of your life, leaving ugly scars. This is why I advise spending as long as you possibly can, looking and considering different and original tattoo designs. The best piece of advice I can give you is to not go for a generic design that you know thousands of other people already have.


There are a few really good tattoo galleries on the internet that contain thousands of different pieces of original artwork that you probably haven't ever seen before. The beauty of these websites, is that you can simply print out the design you like the most and take it straight to your tattooist.

Dragon Japanese Tattoo

As we know one of the places where tattooing is heavily practiced as a beautiful art form and with the greatest skills level is Japan. The history of tattooing there dates back to the fifth century where historians found clay figurines (haniwa) in a grave that show distinct facial marks. These marks are believed to be early forms of tattoos that represent decorative and religious functions.

And if you fully intend on getting a sleeve tattoo, its absolutely essential to pick out the right tattoo artist for the job, and the best way to evaluate an artist is to view his previous work, so don't be afraid to ask.

Half Sleeve Tattoos

Half sleeve tattoos generally start at the very top of the shoulder and run down below the bicep, often to the elbow. However some people refer to half sleeves as starting at the elbow and running down to the wrist. Then again, i suppose there is two halves to every arm, so both estimations would be correct.
