Can you have different style tattoo sleeves?

There are so many different styles and symbols that go into creating a tattoo that deciding on just one can be nearly impossible. That’s what makes tattoo sleeves so unique, you get to combine many different shapes, symbols, colors, and styles to create one cohesive piece of art that you’ll be proud to have.

Do tattoo sleeves have to be themed?

Wachob says another way to keep your tattoo sleeve cohesive is with a theme. “Having a theme or a subject matter in mind is always helpful,” she says. “Gather images and books that you love and bring them to your artist.”

Can you piece together a sleeve tattoo?

To design a sleeve, stick to a single style and focus on 1-3 themes for your pieces. To connect preexisting tattoos into a sleeve, use background textures, colors, and clever filler tattoos to create a cohesive set of pieces that work together.

Can you have a mix of tattoo styles?

A mixed style tattoo is exactly what it sounds like – a mix of different tattoo styles combined into one piece of art. It’s an especially good option if you’re looking into getting some new ink, and you’re torn between a couple of different tattoo styles.

How do you blend random tattoos together?

Choose colors that are complementary or shades of your previous tattoos if you choose to blend the artwork rather than outline new designs or separate them. If you already have a blue tattoo, choose turquoise or other shades of blue to start your new tattoo to help blend the two together.

Is it okay to mix up my sleeve styles?

Mixing styles is fine, but I would skip the 3/4 sleeve idea. If you want symmetry then it would be hard to match up with anything other than another Japanese style sleeve. Go ahead and get the Japanese full sleeve, and then do whatever you want on the other arm. I am speaking from experience.

What should I know before getting a half-sleeve tattoo on my arm?

Any tattoo is a huge commitment, but since your arms are relatively difficult to hide, you’ll want to be 100\% sure about your design, placement, style, size, and color.

Is it okay to have two different styles of tattoos?

It’s all about transitioning properly if they are going to be close to each other. But as far as sleeves go I don’t think it’s a huge deal. It of course is up to you.
