Q. Just looking for a classification. I think I got a really good deal on what I consider to be a quarter sleeve, however I cannot seem to find anything clearly defining what it is. Half sleeve and full sleeve seem to be pretty self-explanatory. Thanks!
A. A sleeve tattoo of any size by definition wraps all the way around the part of the arm. A large tattoo or a collection of tattoos does not make a sleeve until it wraps all the way around and has background fill so not much if any skin is left peeking through.
Full sleeve - Goes from shoulder to wrist
Half sleeve - Goes from Shoulder to elbow
Quarter sleeve - goes from shoulder to mid bicep or sometimes from wrist up to the middle of the forearm.
It is easier to cover up a quarter sleeve and that is why they are more popular. however these days with how common place tattoos ahve become many people are getting half and full sleeves also. Even women are getting full sleeve tattoo designs. Right now a lot of guys are going for traditional Japanese themes like koi fish, samurai and evil spirits or masks.
For women koi fish are also popular but flowers are pretty common place also.
It is best to decide if you are going to want a full, half or quarter sleeve before working out the design. If you are not sure you can work with the artist on the possibility of leaving the design open to be added on to but typically sleeves that get added on to later don't flow as well. For example a dragon sleeve design might not weave around the arm in the best of ways etc.

How can I get a henna tattoo off?
Q. My friend and I tried henna the yesterday, and I jus want to know how to get it off just in case.

A. Exfoliating the skin along with "fading" a design is the only way a henna design will fade. Oils will not remove the design. If your design is less than 24 hours old, it is still "setting" and you may be able stop the color from developing further by simply washing the design in tap water. Most henna artists instruct their clients to avoid tap water for 6 - 24 hours after because the color will continue to develop even after the paste has been removed.
The most mild form of "removal" is to use whitening toothpaste on the henna design. Apply an inexpensive whitening toothpaste to the henna design like a facial mask for about 5 or 10 minutes.
The most practical form of removing a henna design on your hands is to do laundry -- by hand. That will speed up the "demise of the henna" at least 50%. Scrubbing clothes with your hands in the detergent and/or bleach will help get the stains out of your clothes and help fade the design considerably. Many women who get henna actually avoid household tasks for this reason. There are even jokes about it with regard to getting henna and not doing housework: "I can't do that. I just get henna."
You can also apply hydrogen peroxide with a cotton ball to the design, but be sure to moisturize the skin following the application.
If the design is on the palm of the hand or the soles of the feet, the henna demise is the slowest because of the thickness of the skin. If the design is the arms, chest or face, it will fade quicker than if a design on top of the hand. More importantly, if the henna was of very good quality and remained on the skin for long, it may have good staining power no matter where it is placed.
