They are more commonplace in today's more liberal society. Should you get one?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">What do you know about this type of tattoo? Do you know what "sleeve" means? Are you aware of what designs would make up a Japanese sleeve?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A sleeve tattoo is a term describing a design that completely covers the skin of the chosen area. Common body placement for sleeves is on the arms, and that is where we get the name. The tattoo looks like where the sleeve of your shirt should be.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sleeve tattoos come in different lengths. These are:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1. Full Sleeve.</b> Runs from the shoulder-blade all the way to the wrist.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2. Three quarter sleeve.</b> Runs from shoulder-blade to middle/upper part of forearm.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>3. Half Sleeve.</b> Runs from the shoulder to the elbow.</div><a name="more"></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>4. Quarter Sleeve.</b> Runs from the elbow to wrist.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As you can see there are many variations, and sleeves are not limited to the arms. Many people have taken the concept onto the lower limbs as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is also the possibility of adding further work to the sleeve in the form of a "chest plate", which is basically covering the whole of the pectoral area leading off from the arm.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sleeves can incorporate many styles of design, so long as the entire skin area is covered. However it is the Japanese sleeve which appears to be most popular.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Common themes in <i><b>Japanese sleeve tattoo designs</b></i> are dragons, koi carp, samurai warriors, geisha girls, cherry blossoms, water falls and hanya masks (a legendary Japanese demon).</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The sleeve will often incorporate many if not all of these themes in one flowing design of intricate detail and vivid colour.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOhztA3EoX8_3BGRkvVqZPE0_G8rl6G7LjGO8LloPZThtWk1s826DsUnOMbYoX2gqApzMebc8DQOKLPiA4H5mKxIIY2BWDIHnXexbGI4tHKKOjQIUPeokkXrE-EdyLjVUKKWYw48bbaac/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOhztA3EoX8_3BGRkvVqZPE0_G8rl6G7LjGO8LloPZThtWk1s826DsUnOMbYoX2gqApzMebc8DQOKLPiA4H5mKxIIY2BWDIHnXexbGI4tHKKOjQIUPeokkXrE-EdyLjVUKKWYw48bbaac/s1600/2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Full Sleeves are bold and in your face. Everyone will know that you are tattooed! However, if you are looking for some discretion but still favour this kind of tattoo, then a half sleeve could be a compromise. The sleeve can start on the shoulder and be cut short just above the elbow, enabling the tattoo to be hidden from view with a short-sleeved shirt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCTHJDx68sVSjLQMMXID5MjAQ9FXVntDAxNmgP0MKp_-0dlxELlG9FnDeYOFmKywtmX_eXcuAnhmKZGUaN5WuNRQ_9u2ucqtSrOZinB17BbhEXq4AkfB3CleDTp5KnlsD9S2GjfvSmClY/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCTHJDx68sVSjLQMMXID5MjAQ9FXVntDAxNmgP0MKp_-0dlxELlG9FnDeYOFmKywtmX_eXcuAnhmKZGUaN5WuNRQ_9u2ucqtSrOZinB17BbhEXq4AkfB3CleDTp5KnlsD9S2GjfvSmClY/s320/3.jpg" width="208" /></a></div><div style="overflow: hidden; text-align: justify;"><br /><u>Japanese Sleeve Tattoo Designs</u></div>
