A question for the tattoo'ed amongst us
And for anyone who just likes them.....
Couple of questions really..
What do you think to the quality of these tattoo's and more to the point, could you at any point put ANYTHING between them all to warrant calling it "a sleeve"
Sorry if it sounds bitchy, but im just trying to work something out in my head.

Isn't a sleeve one continuous piece of work rather than four seperate tat's as in the picture?

I have always considered a sleeve to be a collection of relevant and connected items, brought together in a themed single piece.

I see a sleeve as 1 continuous design or if the artist was able to incorporate all the designs into one.
I am currently looking at a full sleeve with half chest and a full leg design.

Jamie, trust me mate............ aint me lol
Lower tattoo I think is a harlequin(sp) mask. The picture of it without colour has some interesting line work, not sure it its meant to be that wobbly though.
Just glad im not the only one who is of the impression that its not their cuppa. The girl that it is all on is however very passionate and happy with them, and really thats all that matters I guess. Just would not have had work from the same person after receiving one of those.
I am unsure of what it going to make it into a sleeve too, will be interesting.
Maybe a LIDL carrier bag as a background ?

The work is good but it's wrong in its position! Got a couple of others from the same guy that are equally good in terms of work, but better placed.

I would personally go see a good tattooist and ask their opinion, I personnally would get the cross thingy lasered too fade it down then start a sleeve around the mask. I had laser treatment on my arm to get a cover up and was well impressed though it did tang abit
