Half sleeve tattoo on women?

Q. So my questions is I want to know people's opinion on women with half sleeve tattoos? I also wanna know how a women with a half sleeve feels about their tattoo after getting it and especially when you got older or became a parent? And how you feel at professional or fancy events?

A. I have had NO issues with being judged or looked at in a negative way. I got my first tattoo in 1993 and will be getting my eleventh the end of this month and number twelve in July. As the lady below mentioned, I am not uneducated trailer trash. I am a college graduate and I live in an upper middle class neighborhood. I have a 15 year old and a 2 year old and if I have to go to a function or meeting at my daughters school I always make sure I am dressed professionally and wear conservative clothing. I'm fortunate enough to live in the DC area, so there are a lot of different people and everyone is pretty open minded. I personally feel that a beautifully excuted tattoo sleeve or half sleeve can be gorgeous. I wouldn't change any of my tattoos, and if you are less than 100% sure you want it, don't do it! If you truly believe that you can live with them for the rest of you life, then go for it.

What do you think of half-sleeve tattoos on women?

Q. I really like them and I'm even considering getting one but I am curious what the general public thinks of women with them? Large tattoos, at least where I live, are typically a male thing.

A. I think that no matter where you go, you'll have some people who love them and some who hate them. I've seen women with them, and I think they look great. Personally, I think it's your body, and you should decorate it any way you please, and be proud of it, regardless of what other people think

are sleeve tattoos on women sexy?

Q. im a 22 year old girl getting a 2/3 sleeve done on my arm. i have a full back piece and think its time to extend it out. and i was wondering if men think that a girl with an almost half sleeve would be sexy.....

A. I have a half sleeve and yes, the reactions to it vary with guys. My husband loves it and the rest of my tattoos. Many guys find it powerful but a bit too "alternative" or bad ass. And yes, some find it rather disturbing and a turnoff.

Here's the thing. Ultimately, you are who you are and it sounds like tattoos are a part of that. Wouldn't you rather find a guy that finds that part of you sexy and interesting, than holding back on part of yourself to attract a guy who might make you compromise in other areas as well? Be comfortable in your skin and loved for who you are!

Sleeve Tattoo?

Q. So I already have a tattoo on the top of my foot and on my left shoulder blade. I have really been thinking of getting a half sleeve done on my upper right arm...shoulder to mid bicep area. I really like the idea of getting something graceful and feminine since sleeves can look masculine. I've thought about doing a design with flowers and kind of giving it a graceful tribal effect with different kinds of flowers to represent different things preferably in black and white with maybe small light hints of color. What I would like to know is what people think of women who have sleeve tattoos/problems with jobs/design ideas...I am 20 soon to be 21. I'm not worried about what people will think of me. I am also an art major and want to go into special effects, special make-up effects, animation, etc. I'm going to design it myself and use this as a reference picture http://www.buzzfocus.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/kim-flower-sleeve-04.jpg

I also like this rose tattoo, where I would just use the top part of the rose on my shoulder and then add some smaller flowers and designs from the other link into it. I asked my mom what her favorite kind of flower was and roses were her first answer.

A. I love love love tattoos but I HATE tribal art. My friend did a really amazing half sleeve of a collage of marilyn monroe and other pin up models [she's not a lesbian, she just really admires them] try something along that line. It was so beautiful.

btw, i'm getting a half sleeve too. :]

How do i start tattoo sleeves?

Q. Hey i'm a girl, 18, kind of edgy/punk/rocker whatever you wanna call it. Eventually i'd like tatto half-sleeves on both arms, like to a little past the elbow. I have no idea how i should start them out, and i'm open to many suggestions. Something feminine, but badass? Lol xD

A. Steps in getting a Sleeve tattoo:

You choose the following:
1. The concept or theme. For example is it going to be about music, love, romance, Alice in Wonderland, or nature. This is all up to you. It should always reflect who you are in your heart and soul.

2. You choose the style. Here are the main ones: Tribal, Fineline Color, Fineline Black and grey, Japanese, Traditional America or New School. If you need examples feel free to email me and I will send some.

3. Pick the images you want in the sleeves. For example a music sleeve would have your favorite musicians, instruments, music staff and notes, etc. They should be in the same theme or they look weird.

4. Next you choose open or closed sleeves. Open sleeves leaves lots of space between the images to give it an airy feel. Closed sleeves means all skin is tattooed even between images, this give the sleeve a more powerful look and feel. The choice is up to you.

5. Next choose an artist. This is not for the average tattoo artist. It has to be a master artist, someone who has done a lot of sleeves. Many times there are none in your area so you will have to travel. If you need recommendations email me at the email address below and I will give you some.

6. The rest is up to the custom artist. They will draw up the sleeve first and show you what they have, except tribal is best drawn right on the arm. Make sure you tell them you want a proper sleeve, which means it should start on the top of the shoulder, include the armpit (Yeah it hurts) and finish on the top of the hand like an opera glove. If you want it perfect you can include knuckle and finger tattoos. Don�t worry about the hand, because with a full sleeve it cannot be hid anyway, so everyone will know so why not do it right.

7. Next get a second job if not rich, just to pay for the sleeves because they are very expensive.


If you have any other questions, feel free to email them to me at tatmaster28@yahoo.com

Good Luck. When sleeves are done right on a woman, they can look awesome and even change your entire life for the better.

Will my tattoos prevent me from finding a steady girlfriend in Korea?

Q. I have one foot completely covered and one half sleeve, shoulder and a full back tattoo. Generally speaking is this too taboo? Will a westerner with all these tattoos, have a hard time finding a steady girlfriend in Korea?

A. Korea's attitude toward tattoos is gradually changing. Tattoos are considered to be markings of an asian mafia membership (such as Yakuza or Chinese Triads). Most Koreans will understand that you are not in a mafia but they still may be reluctant to get too close to you personally because of the cultural attitudes towards tattoos. While you are here, do as much to cover the tattoos as possible. I know this advice sounds harsh, but it will keep you from being ostracized. A Korean girl will need to be slowly eased into the fact that you have tattoos because it will be a major culture shock to her. Hiding your tattoos is also important because they will attract the wrong kind of Korean women, the ones who hop from western guy to western guy seeking material pleasures. There are many attractive western girls here also that are completely okay with tattoos.

What is a good place for a last name tattoo on women?

Q. So my dilemma is that I have 9 tattoos already. I have one on my foot, one on my ankle, one on the side of my leg, one on my wrist, one on each boob, one behind my ear, one on my shoulder and one on the back of my neck. I have plans to get a half sleeve on my right arm, and a tree and a date on on my right wrist. Now if you're gunna tell me tattoos are trashy go right ahead. I really do not care what you think, I just want opinions. I am not going to base my decision solely on the answers I receive on here. I have some ideas of my own as to where to get it, I just would like to see what other people think. All my tattoos have some sort of meaning to me, I don't get a tattoo just for the sake of getting a tattoo. The reason I have chose my last name is because no matter what it will always be apart of me. Even if I get married I will still have a connection to my last name.
If you're going to give me stupid answers don't even bother answering. Grow up.

A. People can be so rude and opinionated about tattoos these days. As long as they mean something to you, it doesn't matter what anyone else says

For a name tattoo it depends on how the writing style is going to be. Personally if I were to do my last name I would have it written like this
L
A
S
T
N
A
M
E

down the side of my back, just on the edge of being on the side.
Then I could add swirl and shadow accents around the edges going downward (helps elongate my body shape as I am quite petite)

Why do so many military men and women have so many tattoos?

Q. Don't get me wrong- I LOVE tattoos and have a few myself.

But I've never seen such a high concentration of people with tattoos than on a military base. And most of the tattoos didn't appear to be military related. Both men and women with full or half sleeves, even some neck tattoos. Just curious on if there is a reason or trend to why so many military men and women have so many tats!

A. They are young full of hormones and have money in their pockets. It's a characteristic of the culture they are a part of and a right of passage as well... these are also the type of people who usually act before they think (in general while excluding the General) and if they are enlisted it's like a college massive college party with guns... They love to drink and party and go crazy because there's not much of anything better they can do except play COD...
