Tribal Sleeve And Half Sleeve Tattoos

By Darren Hartley


Tribal sleeve tattoos are on the top rank in the tattoo design category. They are inked in various parts of the body including the upper back, lower back, hands and arms. The coconut leaves design indicates a Samoan or chief warrior. Its Sun formation style symbolizes a good destiny for the wearer.

Also comprising one section of the body where tribal sleeve tattoos are displayed are the shoulders. The selection of tiger tribal tattoos indicates the power of its wearer. Based on ancient traditions, the tiger is a representative of strength, power and bravery. Another tattoo design not only worn for pleasure but for bravery as well is the scorpion tribal tattoo design. The scorpion is an animal considered as a protector against evil spirits.

The completion of tribal sleeve tattoos takes approximately 6 to 7 hours. It could exceed that approximation depending on the complexity of the chosen design. A 2 hour session is done on the first day and 1 hour sessions for the rest of the inking. Before the next session is started, the finished section is made sure to be completely healed.

Money, time and energy are the three things a person needs to commit to when thinking of getting a full sleeve, a quarter sleeve or a half sleeve tattoo. Getting ready financially and physically is a task a person with intentions of getting any of this type of tattoos needs to perform before starting his tattoo sessions.

The popularity of the artist who will be doing the tattoo, the intricacy of the chosen design, the busyness of the studio where the tattooing is to be done and the details of the chosen artwork, all these are contributing factors to the cost of getting a half sleeve tattoo.

Getting a quarter sleeve tattoo might get a potential wearer hooked into adding more tattoos. He may not stop with this one tattoo, and opt for a half sleeve tattoo later. As the addiction gets heavier, a full sleeve tattoo may become the final option. Aside from being addictive, tattoos are also considered to have a therapeutic effect on their wearers.
