I have many tattoos but want a half sleeve. What are your opinions on them? If you have one, can I see your pics?!

    I think sleeves look cool on anybody! I like them best when they fit a theme/style & look really "put together"

    I think sleeves look good. Get something nice that you will not regret... Make it beautiful art work! I always admire women who are brave enough to get sleeves

    If the design is original, tasteful and flows with your body then it is one of the sexiest things in the world.

    BUT, women and men both tend to get stupid tattoos with little or no meaning and they aren't thought out in respect to body type and shape. A real tattoo isn't about drawing something cool on your skin. It's about making your body more aesthetic as well as artistic. IMHO.

    I've got a half sleeve, soon to be a 3/4 (when I get back to the states next year)

    I don't think it's really a good look on anyone, to be quite frank. If you want to do it, go ahead, but it's not something I would really do.

    I've seen plenty of great looking women with sleeves. They don't stop looking good in their thirties. They are either good tattoos that last, or they were **** from the beginning and you just didn't realize it because you were too young and dumb to think it out first.

    Never taken the time to learn how to post pics.. I have a leg piece on my calf that is pretty big and wraps around.
    I know quite a few women that have sleeves and I think they are absolutely beautiful!

    I am in my 40's, I have tattoos. I love them however I had some tattoos in my 20's which I ended up hating so have had laser to remove them. So I would say please think about what you're having and don't rush into it. xx

    i immediately went to you profile assuming you were being sarcastic and that you yourself are tatted up. but sadly i cant tell.

    tell us more about why you are the trusted authority on sleeves on women.

    I don't know what you do for a living but most offices have a no show policy regarding tattoos , so keep that in mind if you ever plan to work in a professional environment that you may have to always wear long sleeves to cover your ink. Also keep in mind that even if that does not apply to your life now, sometime in your future it may. Good luck either way!

    Consider your career aspirations. If you go into a professional environment be prepared to always wear long sleeves. Others wise no problem...just make sure the artist is good, you always wear sunscreen, and think long and hard about the design.

    I have seen plenty of hot women with tattoos, but I think they are much much hotter without.

    My opinion shouldn't matter one iota to you. Get tats if you like them, don't get tats if you don't.



    As for covering at the office, it is a PITA, but I like my tats and it's worth it to me.

    This...sleeves can be very tasteful & beautiful, given the design & artist.

    She's a beautiful young woman, but most people on the planet don't look like that.

    The OP asked for honest opinions, so I hope the finger pointers don't come screeching how narrow minded some people are who don't love tats. My opinion to the OP is that it's nothing I would ever do to my body, but if it makes you happy and you find it beautiful, than go for it. Your body, your choice.

    I have a full sleeve, I also have a chest piece and lots of other tattoos, I'm biased, I'm a professional body piercer and looking at become a tattooist. It's about lifestyle for me, and I guess a personal rebellion against traditional definitions of beauty. I don't have tattoos that really "mean something" I have tattoos I enjoy because it is an art form. Do what you want, I wouldn't tell people not to get tattooed or that they should, it's a personal decision, and everyone is different.

    Also to those people concerned about covering the tattoos in a professional environment : DERMABLEND!

    I have a 3/4 sleeve. I don't regret it and never will. No pictures of it I can get to at the moment. I highly suggest a great artist. Covering up in a professional environment is really not that bad. Cardigans and a tatjacket for when I don't want to wear a long sleeve button up shirt.

    I have both arms done and am in my 30's, I've never regretted any of my tattoos, in fact if I didn't have them it would be quite weird, my advice would be to find a great artist and sit down with them and discuss what you want, go for something original, of course there's going to be heaps of people out there saying don't do it, blah blah blah, but I think those people either don't have any tattoos at all or have really **** tattoos.

    if that's what you want, go for it. I personally only get mine where they can be covered for work.
