There are as many ways of planning a sleeve as there are people on the planet. But these are the recommendations from myself and some of my tattoo artists! Enjoy!

"Just let the artist do their thing!" This has always been my philosophy and I can tell you it's always worked out for me! I figure an artist that's free to express his/her vision is a happy artist, and they always seem much more into it and more prone to give you a brake on the price.

@psychopunk1536 2 года назад

yeah tell them in general what things you would have the tattoo containe and leave the artist in total freedom to design a piece, that way your piece will be unique for sure because a true artist does not design the same tattoo twice when he gets total freedom

@prettybabe5794 9 месяцев назад

@psychopunk1536 that's what I do. I tell my artist my general idea and I always say, express yourself and I trust you. It turns out so good. I told her I wanted a broken mirror and the piece she gave me was so beautiful. I know no one else has the same tattoo.

I find my taste changing. When I started getting tattooed at 18 or 19, I loved traditional patchwork. So I have my left arm as a traditional sleeve. And now I love more filled out sleeves with more gaps, so my right sleeve has zero gaps. And I’ve been told many times that the two play off/compliment each other. Moral of the story is just get what you like, and if you love it, others will also.

@Raketemensch-fl3sv 6 лет назад

I'm guessing that's true for most (it was for me i think). I often wonder how many people actually regret getting tattoos... surely people who have more than one or two view them in such a way that even an imperfect one (or downright silly or something related to tastes that then change) just doesn't carry the same kind of weight. But then someone who sees permanently marking their skin as a really serious decision is unlikely to get one in the first place, or only get something that is unlikely to cause regret later (like 'mom' or a memorial one). Exceptions are probably lovers' names (that's just always a bad idea imho), maybe political statements inked when someone is young and idealistic (or like a reformed neo-nazi's swastikas). Or, my favorite -- chinese characters that are later found to be completely wrong (*never* get one of those without triple-checking with native speakers, and n.b. that chinese doesn't have a goddamn *alphabet*, so you can't get your fucking *initials* written 'in chinese'. Just think about that for five seconds, it doesn't even make sense... and why write something in a random different language anyway?). But yeah, someone with a dozen tattoos, even if they aren't totally enamored of some, say, pacman-eating-a-ying-yang tattoo twenty years later, probably isn't going to spend much time actively regretting it, i'd think.

I've always wanted tattoos but for one reason or another, I would never be fully sure about getting my first one. If you get your first tattoo at your 30s, then you are completely sure you really want that on your body because, at that age, you start giving 0 fucks about everything and yolo really gets its true meaning.

“Like a butt plug” 😂😂😂😂 I actually love that you said this! (Obviously, I also appreciate your & your tattoo artists’ advice, so thank you)! 🖤✨ Also, I’m much like you with tattoos. I literally don’t care about styles or any of that stuff. I just want what I have envisioned, and for an artist to help me figure out how to make it look good. It’s funny to me that many people who want their first or second or third tattoo are indecisive. I was talked out of four designs before I got my first (and currently only) tattoo, and the one I ended up drawing the line on was still one that she absolutely did not want to do (purely for lack of faith that I wouldn’t move during the process). In the end it’s really about what you want. There’s no need to overanalyze. If you want four things and they’re all opposite from each other, who cares? They’re important to you, so just do it. 🖤✨ (I literally want like four tattoos inspired by lyrics from four different songs written by the same band, so 🤷🏻‍♀️😂).

@jaxchi 6 лет назад

The first tattoo I got was a large upper thigh piece that wraps around to the side and goes up my hip. Certainly ambitious for a first piece. People thought I was insane for letting the artist have complete creative freedom in terms of the entire design, given it was also my first. But I considered the artist for a year. And the placement for also a year. I loved his style and work. And so when I initially contacted him and showed references and said general ideas of what I wanted and liked, I trusted him. I initially wanted the placement on the front of my thigh. But he suggested it wrap a bit to the side and also travel up the hip a bit so it was more interesting visually and “flowed”. And since I knew I just wanted basically an animal skull and flowers, I figured since he’s amazing with nature themes that I’d let him do his own thing. It turned out to be a really strong piece! So I totally agree that it’s great to have general ideas or elements that you want, but if you enjoy the artists work overall, then to definitely trust them and also be open minded to their suggestions since they are the professionals.

@amberborg2954 4 года назад

This is perfect!! I was under the impression that already having a shoulder tattoo and adding bits and pieces to it was not an ideal way to make a sleeve and was worrying about doing so.

These are the exact things I'm stressing about, especially the one where I feel like I have to plan out every single detail in the tattoos for them to look exactly as I want them, even though I myself isn't too sure about what exactly it is that I want.

@softpretzelclub 6 лет назад

I think I was a bit TOO relaxed when it comes to tattoos and now I actually really regret it. I trusted this one tattoo artist's opinion to the point of not trusting my own opinion anymore. So I ended up with a big black tattoo with terrible placement that I am really embarrassed of. And it's bigger than I initially wanted as well, I feel like many tattoo artists try to push you to get it bigger. Which does make sense sometimes, but I think it's important to prioritise the client's wishes and maybe find another solution or just be honest and refuse to do it (without being bitter or making them feel guilty). Especially if a certain size was already agreed upon before the artist actually drew it. It's not very ethical to try and convince your client that it will look great when they're having doubts, because some people are naive enough to believe it in the moment, not realising that they might regret it later. I'm definitely one of these impulsive susceptible people and now I'm trying to be more conscious about it. When this tattoo artist later asked me if I was interested in another appointment for his next guest spot (because he was having trouble finding clients) I told him about this. I didn't want to make him feel bad, but I thought it was important to be honest. He just blocked me. So I definitely learned some very important lessons regarding getting tattooed, pricey pricey lessons! This whole experience really put me off getting tattooed for a while. But in the end I still do love tattoos very much, so I know will get more in due time. Now I'm just trying to save up money to get this lasered off of me!

I did the same. I gave the guy an idea and a few references that weren't tattoos so he could incorporate his own style and later realized, he has no style. He asked my budget and later showed me a stencil that was more than twice my budget. Im getting it touched up because its ok, but its overall way bigger than I ever wanted (its a woman and I have to wear short shorts for you to see her face, I literally just wanted something mid-thigh). I cried for a week after I got it. They say trust the artist, I think people need to trust their gut before trusting an artist. I paid for it even though it was twice my budget and expected him to take time on it and for it to be beautiful, but he took the same amount of time as he would have had I given him another stencil. He wanted me out when the shop closed and just wanted more money.

So what you said about planning the sleeve reassured me, since it's how it's going on for me and my artist, but also, about the way to "care" about it. I'm like "whatever, it's gonna be beautiful anyway" because I just love the artist I'm seeing and well, I feel like the rest is secondary x)

@xoxMusikxox 6 лет назад

I like the "patchwork" design a lot, and I also like the idea of mixing different types of styles. I only have one tattoo so far but when I have the money for another one, a big one, I want to work with the artist and have them hopefully draw me something beautiful to cover up the scars on my arm. I am a little worried though because I have kind of a lot of hair on my arms, dark blond hair, and I'm not into shaving them. I know I would have to shave them for the tattoo but would it become a problem once it has healed? Maybe personal question so you don't have to answer, but do you shave your arms so that your tattoos show up better??

@Katrinberndt 6 лет назад

I don’t shave them no. But my hair is very fair so it has never crossed my mind. However i don’t think hair over tattoos looks weird regardless! :)

@fabiorosario3501 6 лет назад

Its ok, I did my chest and had my chest hair shaved. It grew when It was healing, and its ok, no problem at all.

@myopidodi3058 6 лет назад

I have a tattoo on my thigh that's just black line work and the hairs there are really not noticeable against the tattoo, i think it would be the same for your arms too

@Nezuko_chan-fm1km 6 лет назад

Morgan Ronan you can wax your arms , your hair will gradually grow back thinner and slower if your up for it .I wax and I find it's so much better than having to shave and have uneven areas because i hate shaving lol

@christophermarshall1441 6 лет назад

I have darker blonde hair on my arm and I don’t shave my arms but I do use clippers to shorten the hair. It makes the color stand out and look much fresher. I just put a 1 1/2 guard on the clippers and I feel that does really well for me personally.

@taskew1966 5 лет назад

Great video. Thanks for the tip, especially since I started over analyzing my sleeve. Finally, I consulted with my tattoo artist and showed him what I wanted and let him do his thing.

@janiezyje Год назад

Very informative video, thank you for explaining it all. And I find your relaxed stance refreshing, many people just talk about don'ts and they make me nervous about getting ANY tattoo, which is not a way to go.

@SidewalkSurfer22 4 года назад

I love sailor jerry tattoos and all of my ink is "old school". But I've seen detailed tattoos over years and they always look like shit unless they're touched up a lot. But i see old timers with old school tats and they still look awesome without being touched for forty years.

@maishamkali4022 6 лет назад

Anfd why do you want a tattoo? Because somebody you admire has one, right? That's the worst reason to get a tattoo.

Thank you for the last point! I got many blackwork/fineline Tattoos on my sleeve because that was the original plan. Now 2 years later when I started to connect my patchwork style, I got 2 very colorful neotraditional Peonies inbetween my blackwork Tattoos and I felt like „is this even ok for the Tattoo Universe to continue my fillers with colorful flowers?“ and YES it is! I am in love with my mixed sleeve and everyone who wasn‘t sure about the idea is in love with it too! (:

@renelt2620 6 лет назад

Thank you for defending the mixed-style sleeves! I have a lot of video game-related ideas and each game has it's own mood and style. Some are cartoonish, some are serious. I also follow a bazillion tattoo artists who have different, but equally awesome styles and I want their work on my skin anyway. So I just try to figure out who should tattoo what and where on my skin.

@curtisengel7707 6 лет назад

My left arm has 5 tattoos from 4 different artists (so far). Couple more traditional looking, couple more neo-trad looking. It’s going to my “random fun shit” sleeve the way it’s going. I think I’ll keep my right arm for a more thought out, cohesive sleeve.

@thelifeofme6168 6 лет назад

Curtis Engel that's what I plan to do as well. Heaps of different things that definitely have pretty much nothing to do with each other as a patchwork sleeve on my left arm and then my right arm is going to be a more planned out sleeve. I'm thinking either neo-trad or chinese

@fraeni90 6 лет назад

Oooh, is that the dress you bought for the wedding?! 😊 Question: you mentioned you “had” to fill the gaps between your GoT tattoos - what do you think of arm tattoos that aren’t connected? Just asking because I think your tattoos already look awesome the way they are! I’m super stoked to see how you end up filling the gaps though (especially the buttplug shaped one haha 🤣). Ps: I love your relaxed attitude towards tattoo styles - totally agree that mixing isn’t “wrong”, it’s personal preference ✌🏻

@Katrinberndt 6 лет назад

You definitely don't have to fill the gaps at all! But if you want it to turn into a sleeve that's usually what you do, and that's what I want for mine! :)

@CaptVooDooGaming 2 года назад

I came across this a while after you posted it; my sleeve is actually the patchwork style, but I spoke with my tattoo artist and he and I are planning on filling in my arms over time. He's done all my work for the past 10 years so I will constantly go back to him. We're gonna be tying them all together.

@GumaMartin 3 года назад

This helped me out a lot. I'm giving my artist a bad time with my indecisiveness and pickiness instead of just letting him create the tattoo from my theme.

@snow2tears 6 лет назад

Your relaxed mentality gave me reassurance because I feel the same way deep down! I think people worry way too much about making sure the tattoo is significant. But it's okay to get a tattoo just because you love looking at it!

@orphicqueen 6 лет назад

Thank you for this video, Katrin! I chose the patchwork style of sleeve for my right arm, as I wanted to get different pieces as my life changed. I knew when I moved cross country (from Wichita Kansas to Seattle Washington) that my life would definitely change dramatically, and in beautiful ways. I keep finding talented artists, and getting something different from each of them. I have different pieces I’m going back to the same artist for, & I like having different styles.

@chrissextina6334 6 лет назад

I'm so eager to start my sleeve. I have one tattoo and been figuring what i wanted next. My first tat is shit. Lol i rushed into getting it. A friend did it and it was free. He just started tattooing. So sadly I was one of the peolpe he tatted. So I'm picky! I want a real artist.

@poltergeistx 6 лет назад

Best advice ever: let the artist do his/her thing. For my last two tats I've just told the artist the elements I want and let them come up with the art and how it should be accomodated in the area I want... and I like those waaaay more than the rest of the ones I have.

@Akidnamedkalieful 6 лет назад

I really like what you said at the end. It doesn't matter if you get multiple styles. A good artist will make your tattoo harmonize with others. I personally stuck with black and grey, blackwork, dark script. If a limb piece is made up of different styles thats what makes your sleeve unique.

These videos really get me pumped and inspired for my tattoo plans (building my half sleeve currently). I've got most of the designs I want I think, I'm just prioritising designs because space is obviously limited and they need to fit around my existing ones. Thanks for this video, Kat!

@lucienverse 3 года назад

My favourite tattoo I have seen someone with is a tattoo showing the same character in various art styles. And it works so well. So I am thinking of getting a mixed style tattoo myself sometime.

Last year I started my sleeve, barely at the age of 19. But my problem is that I'm a broke student, and I have to save up for months to get new ink, but I graduate in june, so hopefully I'll get a job afterwards. While planning theme and style for my sleeve, I told my tattoo artist this, then she replied: "Don't stress about it, we got lots of time, we keep your pace at things." I swear to god, she's the sweetest woman I've met in ages 😭

@alessandracastillo4458 6 лет назад

Soooo. I first went to get my tattoo on Valentine’s Day 2016. I went in 2 sessions and have my lower arm mostly done. Well literally a month after I spent my money and started this project I got in a terrible accident. I’m just now back on my feet no longer struggling to make ends meet. But it’s literally been 2+ years and I still have outlines of trees and have half an owls face missing. Is it too late? Was I being rude? Also my tattoo artist was really kind of a pain to work with scheduling wise. So much so that in one occasion I had made an appointment at 5:30 and he never showed. It got to 8 and I was still waiting. The owner of the shop felt so bad he gave me a free piercing. My question is should I consider going to a different artist to finish my tattoo?

@PascuBeckett 6 лет назад

Thank you! I loved your view on this topic! I like patchwork sleeves and even though i like fillers, i also really like the negative space that remains between pieces (i love that weird shape you have over the lantern on your arm). I tend to overanalyze everything and when it comes to my sleeve I know some of the pieces I want to get, but over stress thinking where to put each of them! Your point of view of “trust the experts. It will work out in the end” was what I needed to hear. Also, I love longer videos from you. Hope you have a great weekend!

@chelseajohnson1388 6 лет назад

The timing on this is perfect I’m adding to my sleeve on Sunday and I’ve been concerned about how everything will tie together because I’m doing random pieces on my lower arm that have no theme. I have the lochness monster on my arm and I’m adding a powerpuff girls related tattoo this weekend but none of that is cohesive
