tattoo sleeves?

Does anyone know of any good sites with tattoo sleeves? i've googled and found a handful but most of em don't have many full sleeves. Also, what do you think, if anything, looks good in a sleeve? stlye, color and content wise.
the sleeve will have things that have meaning to me.. i'm just trying to find some inspiration and ideas and things i like

  1. If you are a myspces user there are so many artists who post really awesome work on their pages. It is worth checking out!

    Good Luck!

  2. Subscribe to Tattoo magazine. I found it very helpful. I am in process of getting a full sleeve done. since nothing had a special meaning to me, i let my artist decide, and he came up with Onna Bugeisha and cherry blossoms and lotus flowers. It`s awesome. In the end, there has to be something that appeals to you, and no one else, since you`ll be stuck with it for the rest of your life. Once your artist comes up with an idea, you can throw in your opinion as well, and it will look great when finished. Just be ready financially. Full sleeve will cost you a pretty penny, if you want it completely covered and shaded.
    Good luck.

  3. You shouldn't take someone else's idea for sleeves. You should come up with something on your own that means something to you.

  4. The good thing about sleeves is that you can work so much into them, or you can have one big design. I have one full sleeve of a japanese snake with japanese water and cherry blossoms around it, and I'm in the process of getting the other arm done with lots of different things.

    Just think of all the images that mean something to you, take them to your tattooer and ask him/her to work them into a cool design.

  5. most people that are sleeved have a collection of tattoos that they get over time. i would never let someone else decide what tattoo permanently goes onto my body.

    artist do really well of combining and shading backgrounds to incorporate ideas together, but that's as far as I've let an artist go...

    content, color and style, you should decide. just incorporate things in your life that are important, family, friends, past, your future. things you like, music, artists, nature? anything and everything you love and has importance to you.
    because you have to wear it.
