What do you think of full tattoo sleeves?

I'm a fan of tattoos and have my back inked, which of course isn't visible at work. I'm thinking about getting my whole arm sleeved, or at least 3/4 of it. Does anybody have this done and have any comments, thoughts, or regrets I can consider in deciding?
Thanks.

    Tatts are HOT! But it depends on what line of work your in, alot of professional or white colar jobs are hard to get if your to inked up.

    It is something that I have thought of doing as well but I also would like to have a combination of a Imperial Dragon and Coy on my back. I have been inked 3x

    But for you, if you do not mind wearing long sleeves to work, go for it.

    I think it is REALLY unappealing

    I thought about getting a couple tattoo's myself, but If i were u I wouldn't get ur whole arm sleeved. I think thats 2 much, but that's just my opinion. Maybe some here and there on ur arms,but not ur whole arms.That wouldn't look 2 attractive, Sry! LOL!

    I have a friend who has his arms and his back done. It looks good. Tatooing is a form of art and personal style. If you want to get this done then you should. I think it looks good though. He has flames on his arms and they look very tasteful.

    I love tattoos, but I'm not all too fan of sleeves. I think it depends on what kind of sleeve you are getting. Like for example, Ville Valo (lead singer of the band H.I.M.) has a sleeve of flames up his arm. I find it UGLY AS HELL.

    I think that if a man(or woman) has good pieces of art covering their "Sleeve" area, it is admirable and VERY sexy. Go for it.

    if on a man it should fit his style and have a theme and i like to see on girls girly thems i think it helps them remain femine instead of lookin like a hard core man

    i think it would great. I am thinking of doing the same. right now i am working on my leg. it is almost finished and will be almost entirely covered when i am done. I will never regret it cause i love it. started when i was 15 and now am 26. I think sometimes that they will affect what job i have, but a job is not a life, and i love tattoos that is who i am, so if someone doesn't want to hire me because of it i just think to myself that they are missing out on a really great employee. ME! go for it you only live once, and people die everyday you never know when it will be your turn!

    My only concern would be sun damage. Try as I might, my arms below the t-shirt line still see some sun, and I'd be concerned that it'd fade the ink.

    I'm find exposing my ink to normal (not tanning) artificial light, campfires & moonlight. That big glowie daystar is too much.

    Otherwise, cool. I'd want to work it into the theme of my back, but that's purely opinion.

    With respect to tats in the workplace: I keep hearing "oooh, you'll never get work, you'll get fired, etc", but then I keep hearing about places that would fit that mold in which co-workers are fine. Although I wouldn't be surprised to find it's an issue in some, I suspect it's mostly fear, ignorance & kneejerk reactions for many. How do you know unless you ask/experience it, and how many have done that? Even more important, who has researched how many places could legally discriminate in this way?

    I say go for it! so long as you can cover it for your job. (although that would hide your beautiful art!) But definatley do it!

    Sleeves are hot.
    Make sure you work in a industry that doesn't have an issue with that kind of ink.

    Just go for it! Corporate America can just stick it in their collective ear when it comes to tattoos. As long as you still look professional and cover them when you have to, I say go for it. One day, they will realize that your brain has not leaked out your ears because you have a tattoo:) Personally? If the sleeve is good art, I think they are awesome! I'm getting myself some sleeves soon:)
