Sleeve length

IMO sleeves should end at the T-shift sleeve length but thats just me.

You mean a bicep tattoo?

Yeah :D

I just like the clean look and when you throw your arms up for a stretch people go "O hey you have a tat man that looks bad add" etc etc :D Having it out all the time kinda spoils it IMO

At the rate I am going I need all the room I can. Already loosing the surprise factor. My inner arm tattoo is below t-shirt level.

Both of my forearm tattoos end just over an inch from the line where the palm meets. And they are visible if I stretch or reach for something without thinking. I sort of unconsciously look around or just be careful when reaching for something. I always bring a dress shirt with me when I get inked and have some concerns. Me and the artist agree on where to stop the tattooing before it starts.

The 3/4 sleeve is a great idea, wished I thought of it sooner. Too late now... Has anyone ever extended a 3/4 sleeve into a full sleeve and had it looking good?

Thats a good idea.

I have the same question. Does anyone have pictures of a before/after 3/4 sleeve that was extended to a full sleeve later? I guess if you had any inclination of extended it later you could tell the artist so they could end in a way that would make it as fluent as possible to extend later.

word, man. i love when that happens and people are all like, "hey, whoa, badass tattoo man"!!!!!

My left arm actually sneaks onto that little bone on the wrist and a little splash on the hand. My right arm finished about an inch before the palm. But I wear a short sleeve polo shirt most days to work, so its no concern really. The one I am worried about is the back going up onto the neck...

On my left arm the tattoos stopped about three inches above my wrist. Had a little skull and rose put in there and brought a little of the background down, all by a different tattooer. And unless you're looking for it, you'd never be able to tell that it wasn't part of the original design.

Wear a nice watch, some larger ones prevent the shirt sleeve from riding up, or cover up that area of skin if they do. Plus if you have an expensive watch it can change people’s impressions about the tattoo.

If people around you are judging you based on a little bit of tattoo peeking out from under a sleeve, then you're most definitely hanging with the wrong crowd.

Mine ends at the wrist. I was thinking of having it end a bit higher, but I thought fuck it, I'm well-established in a career where tattoos aren't an issue, and while there are going to be plenty of circumstances where I'll want to keep them covered, if my shirt rides up and shows a bit of my sleeve it really doesn't matter.

I just put 4 fingers on my wrist and had my artist draw the line there for my right arm. Going to do the same 4 fingers length for my second sleeve. It works fine for me. At work I wear a dress shirt and tie but my ink never peaks out of my shirt.

Too late, I had him "fix" it and now it goes to mid wrist bone :-)

The only problem is that now i need to find something else to fixate on!

I thought this seemed relevant to the conversation. Here's a photo I noticed on Mr. Robson's Instagram from a few weeks ago of extending a half sleeve into a full. From the looks of the half sleeve, thoughts of extending it might have been brought up at the time because it looks like it ended in a way that made it easy to extend seamlessly.
