About Half Sleeve Tattoos
A half sleeve covers the upper or lower arm in one cohesive composition — much of a full sleeve's impact with more flexibility: smaller commitment, easier concealment, and a natural stopping point.
- Upper-arm half sleeve is especially easy to conceal; the forearm version is more on show
- Enough room for a substantial unified design without a full sleeve's investment
- Can stand alone or become stage one of a future full sleeve — discuss plans up front
- Pain varies — outer surfaces comfortable, inner arm and elbow more sensitive
- Choose an artist who specializes in cohesive, flowing composition
