Sleeve Tattoos for Women FAQs
When getting a large piece, it’s imperative to map out a plan. Consider:
- Set your Budget
- Choose a concept and style
- Choose an artist
- Work out a price (including tips)
- Make your booking
- Collaborate or control, but communicate thoroughly
- Work out a session timeline
There is no fixed price for a full sleeve tattoo. Average is about $150p/h, depending on the skill and tenure of the artist, design complexity and time taken to execute the artwork.
A full sleeve tattoo may take at least 10-15 hours and could cost from $1,500 to $2,000 before tips at a minimum.
For rookies, the shoulder is the best place to start, then work your way downwards and fill it in. Others prefer to start in reverse but it’s essentially the same principle.
If you’re more experienced, then you may find getting the outline done first in one long session to be a good idea.
Women’s sleeve tattoos often feature a commitment to detailed design ideas and precision linework over larger central motifs and ‘heavy’ ink.
Classical black and gray work is prominent and effective, while realistic animal motifs and classical images such as flowers or mandalas remain favorites. There’s increasing use of neo traditional, pop culture, and Avant Garde artistry in women’s ink.
