I remember when I first started getting tattoos; I swore up and down that I would never get a sleeve. That was, of course, until I saw how absolutely stunning they could be. After that, I had my mindset, and I was not going to change it. I am still working on my sleeve, but it’s close to finishing.

If you are trying to decide how many tattoos you want or what style you think you’d enjoy in the long run, it can be hard to understand what you like when you haven’t seen it first hand. Sure, imagination is a powerful thing, but actually visualizing it in person is different.

So I wanted to show you how absolutely stunning having a sleeve can be, in it’s many different styles and looks. Below you will find a list of some of my favorite examples. These are the girls with sleeves that inspired me to get my own. Take a look!

I remember back when I first decided to get tattoos; my mother told me that I should think about how I would want to look on my wedding day. Brides don’t look good with tattoos. I laughed at this and then spent the afternoon sending her beautiful photos of tatted brides looking stunning; she never tried to convince me otherwise again.

1. Light Inked Flower Sleeve – If you prefer lighter ink that has a thinner size, then I think you should check out this first example.

2. Black and White Flower Sleeve – Many people prefer their sleeves to be in black and white. This sleeve will make you want to agree!

3. Cute Colorful Garden with Caterpillars – At the same time, this example is going to make you want to color. Good thing you have more space on your body to tattoo!

4. Floral Sleeve with Snake – I love the way that snake tattoos look because they can coil and wrap around your whole arm. Plus, they look great when they are paired with flowers.

5. Skattered Flower Sleeve –  If you love flowers, then I think you need to look at how this person used many different kinds to create the sleeve of their dreams.

6. Beautiful Colored Sleeves – I love the way that colorful sleeves look. They don’t mess up any outfit, and on top of that, they just look amazing.

7. Mandala Flower Idea – Here, I have a great example of a mandala flower tattoo sleeve. The mandala has a lot of spiritual significance behind it, so if that symbolism speaks to you, then you should go for it.

11. Colorful Sleeve Idea with Scorpion – The scorpion has a lot of symbolic significance, so if it inspires you, then you should just do it. I love this!
