    Mind Blowing Sleeve tattoo's

    do you have them? do you love / hate them?

    i really want half sleeves but im concerned
    1. will i get bored of looking at it?
    2. will others get bored of looking at it?
    3. will i ever be disadvantaged gaining employment in creative office?
    4. while im at college will it hurt my money as a dancer[i already look alternative anyway]?

    so many questions....

    i know a couple of you have em, who wants to give me the 411... again?

    also tossing up between whether i want the sleeves or a back piece........

    i love the goth barbie look like the rock of love chicks [daisy dela hoya] and the 'disfigured' pic thread....

    I way prefer a really nicely done full back on a woman over sleeves any day, especially if it's well executed japanese work without background (nukibori).

    I would probably go for a full back piece too because it's easier to hide.
    I love my sleeve, but I know it's limited me from other "normal" jobs.
    Even some strip clubs will say it's too much (luckily, never had that problem)...just hear about it all the time.

    I think a half sleeve would be perfect though. You can still hide it if you did get a regular job.

    For me, I don't get bored looking at it. I just kinda forget that my tattoos are there. They're just that much a part of me now, that I don't even notice....lol
    So I don't get bored. Although, there is a piece on the back of my left arm that I'd love redone...so luckily it's on the back of my arm so I don't have to look at it..lol

    I don't think others get bored looking at it...especially if they're around you all the time. Once again, I think they don't even notice..because it just becomes a part of you. For new people, they're usually really interested and ask a lot of questions. (THAT gets old)

    "Did it hurt?"
    "How long did it take?"
    "What's this one mean?"
    "What's that one say?"
    "you gonna get color?"
    "You gonna get more?"..etc, etc....

    as for it hurting your money. I think it depends on the club and where you're at and your hustle.

    For me, personally, I know my tattoos out here (in Wisconsin) HAVE hurt my money. This is the only place where I've ever had guys straight up tell me, "No thanks, I don't like tattoos".

    I think if you're doing okay with an alternative look, the tattoos will add to it and you'll be okay.

    What are you thinking of getting done??

    p.s.
    I love that barbie rocker look too. <3

    thanks avery, you nailed it!
    i only have a small wrist piece of a rose n some script and i hardly notice it coz its a part of me. when people are like ooh whats that on your wrist? a tattoo? im like what/where OHYEAH.
    though once i do the back piece and figure out if i still want sleeves would it be too much?

    i studied film and currently do fashion at uni i guess tatts might be relatively ssafe... unless i wish to run for a job at the vogue office...

    i could see how the questions would get old. i have a friend with a sleeve and since she got her hands done every freako seems to be coming up to her in the city to ask n shes all like nah nah fuck off go away... i can understand that. sometimes i hate attention but my arms feel kinda naked right now.

    i have a feeling of feeling like 'naked' and incomplete where tattoos should be.

    for a back piece i think about a peacock
    for half sleeve me as a gypsy with tarot cards unlocking my imagination and pushing my luck. id also like to incorporate some dinosaurs and unicorns with that one and have it like mexican day of the dead style.

    whatt are yours of avery?
    [im always scared to ask tattood people about their tattoos coz i know theyd get it all. the.time.]

    I think the OP was asking if we had or liked sleeve tattoos in particular, not tattoos in general.

    I think my comment can be pretty easily read as a "i dont like sleeve tattoos, or any for that matter"...but, in order to clarify.

    I don't like any kind of tattoos, and tend to dislike large areas, such as sleeves, even more. I have also known several people who have been turned down for jobs, even in creative fields, for having a lot, including things such as sleeves. Most people I know, even those who like tattoos, tend to think large tattooed areas, like sleeves, look bad.

    ^ I think that small tattoos look bad, personally and have never met anyone who is tattooed and thinks that a large area isn't better. Perhaps people who aren't at all technically involved with tattoos (like people who get little flowers, peoples' names, kanji or whatever) but large tattoos are more desirable because they last longer, can incorporate more detail, can have more colour options and are just a lot less cluttered looking. Different strokes for different folks.

    I have my entire back done, the tops of my feet, both inner ankles and my left wrist. I'm not going to get anymore any time soon. Mine are all really well done and everyone loves them. Get a good artist and make sure that you get solid work done. I used to think I would go to arms really soon but now I think I might just leave them alone completely.

    thats more like the response i was after. if you say you dont like them thats fine as long as you know, you tell us why, or if you had a story with them or if you just think they dont look classy or good or anything like that. not so much the whole 'i dont like tattoos coz they look bad'.

    so feel free to elaborate =]

    true sadie, i think one big well done piece looks a lot better than a lot of small ones e.g. ankle flowers, tramp stamps, kanji etc. one big one makes more of a statement and i think its classier than a lot of small generic ones.

    I'm not sure what it's like where you work now but I know most of the gown clubs in Melbourne are fairly strict with girls having tattoos and either won't let them work or make them cover them completely.

    There are still clubs that allow girls to work that have tattoos here but that could be a negative in the way of earnings, depending on where you work. (That being said, I personally don't have tattoos so have never had to deal with it, just know from what other girls have said)
    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    Why do tattoo threads always have to turn into a debate on whether or not someone likes tattoos or not?? Seriously, there are already threads for people who dislike tattoos...save it for there, not for the threads where people are seeking advice about tattoos they already want.

    anyway.....

    though once i do the back piece and figure out if i still want sleeves would it be too much? In my personal opinion, I think that would look hot as hell. Then again, I'm biased because I'm heavily tatted and love that look. I would just say make sure it all flows together..from the backs of the arms into the back piece.

    sometimes i hate attention but my arms feel kinda naked right now.I'm the same way. I have a few spots on my sleeve that I want filled in badly and on my right arm, there is still room for more tattoos. It feels naked to me too LOL

    That sounds hot as hell to me. Especially with the peacock, all the colors that can be involved, I think that would look really pretty. Pricey, but pretty.

    [im always scared to ask tattood people about their tattoos coz i know theyd get it all. the.time.]
    LOL, it's okay. Mine are mostly skulls, demons, devils...."scary/trashy" stuff. I also have my kids names: Gage and Kane as well as BloodRayne and the nurse from Silent Hill.
    Which everyone always asks me why I have such scary stuff since I'm such a "sweet girl"...they say. They think I need cupcakes and butterflies...(which are adorable), but I like the 'dark side' of things. I can still be sweet and cute and rock my demons..lmao

    (and to be completely honest, my tattoos don't even have any deep meaning, besides my kid's names...I just liked 'em and they were free from an ex..lol)

    this! I have a MILLION people ask me what my tattoos mean and most of them don't believe me when I say nothing. I have had people straight up tell me that they mean "this" because of a symbol or try to guess what they mean and it is SOOO annoying.

    sounds like a hott sleeve you has =]

    maybe i should ask a teacher at uni how the design industry feels about hiring people with tatts.

    Something to consider is how easily they are to cover up.

    I have a tattoo down the entire back of my arm, a good chunk of back, several on my torso, some on my lower legs and feet. So... in situations where they need to be covered I have to wear long sleeves and pants, and closed shoes/socks/black tights that cover the tops of my feet.
    ...which sucks. lol
    I'm not saying you'll wind up in a lot of situations where you need/want to cover tattoos... but it's something to think about.


    I prefer my back piece to the pieces on my arm (I don't have a sleeve, yet... but it's scheduled) simply because it was nice being able to wear cute shirts/sleevless/short sleeved dresses in business/classy situatiosn.
