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.

Can someone please answer a couple questions about tattoo please?
Q. So before people say anything, I'm not getting the tattoo until I am 18, which is in two months. I been wanting a tattoo for a few years now, even though my parents would kill me if they found out. Anyways I'm first going to show you the tattoo I want so that you can answer my questions.

Okay so the first question would be how much money should that cost?
The next one is can the tattoo artist make it just like that, because I have seen other images and I don't like them like I like that one because it looks realistic.
Also, I want to put it on my lower back center. Is that a good spot, and how is that area for tattooing when it comes to pain?
(I don't want the flowers around the butterfly, I just want the Tiger Butterfly).
Thanks for answering my questions. (:
Actually I do want the flowers there I'm just not sure about it because if you look at the picture, the girl's tattoo is slanted and i want mine going straight across my lower back (horizontally). So if you think it would look good going straight across from the wings (one side of the wings to the other) let me know cause I would do that, instead of it going slanted vertically.

A. Without color & light shading at the shop I go to that would be around $150-200, price usually depends on the shop & quality of the artist's work. I can't give a price for color because I have black ink.
The lower back is a large area & shading hurts like a mother. Areas with little fat, or are bone-y like your feet, knees, wrist, etc. usually hurt more than other places. Some people say the opposite, I guess it depends on you.
Like you, I thought over the idea of getting a tattoo for years, to me the pain was worth it.
A talented tattoo artist can make that easily, they can alter it too if you want to make it unique.
