Sleeve tattoos—whether half or full—are one of the most ambitious and rewarding tattoo styles. At Inkd Tattoo Studios, our artists specialise in designing sleeves that flow naturally with the body, creating a seamless story from shoulder to wrist.
Why Sleeve Tattoos Are So Meaningful
A sleeve tattoo isn’t just decoration—it’s a personal narrative. Whether it’s a symbolic journey, a tribute, artwork inspired by mythology, or a mix of black and grey realism and colour, sleeves become part of your identity.
Types of Sleeve Tattoos
- Full Sleeve
- Half Sleeve
- Quarter Sleeve
- Mix-Style Sleeve
- Black & Grey Sleeve
- Colour Sleeve
- Realism Sleeve
Each style requires planning, layering, and an artist who understands flow and composition.
Creating a Custom Sleeve at Inkd Tattoo Studios
Our approach includes:
- Consultation — understanding your vision
- Theme development — creating a unified flow
- Sketching — designing every element
- Multi-session execution — building the sleeve in layers
- Shading & detailing — adding depth, texture, and movement
- Finishing touches — refining highlights and transitions
We treat each sleeve like a long-term art project—methodical, creative, and tailored.
How Long Does a Sleeve Take?
Depending on complexity, a sleeve may take between 20 to 50 hours across multiple sessions. Patience is part of the journey—and the results are worth it.
Why Choose Our Studio
From realism to colour, our artists create sleeves with precision, storytelling, and seamless flow. Every inch is carefully planned so that your tattoo feels cohesive and meaningful.
