Half Sleeve Recommendations

[ericl42]

Hello,

I'm about to get my first tattoo and my plan was to get a half sleeve with a mountain/lake/forest theme to it. I'm looking at tying in ideas from the concepts of:

• Travel
• Adventure
• Love for the outdoors
• Fitness

I think I have a fairly good idea for the main portion of my arm but what I'm trying to figure out is what I'm going to do on my inner bicep. I doubt the mountains/landscape will wrap all the way around and I don't want an obvious stop to the tattoo. Was thinking about tying in some compass, trail map, etc. type concepts to bring it all together but as I picture it in my head, I'm not a huge fan.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Attached are two tattoos that I've liked so far.

Why wouldn't it wrap around? I have a lot of tattoos that wrap around my arms and legs.

Not saying it can't, I just didn't know if more of a landscape type setup would wrap very well vs. other designs. 

I'm new to this which is why I was hoping for some thoughts/opinions. Trying to visualize it right now is hard. 🙂

I'd talk to a tattoo artist and get some ideas.

The landscape certainly could wrap around. Incorporating additionally other objects is an easy option, too. 

Find an artist whose work you admire and set up a consultation. Bring as many ideas and references as you can - especially theirs.

Thanks for the information. I currently have an artist I'm working with but I just wanted to get some different thoughts/opinions and was hoping a forum would be a good place to do that.

Let's see a link to the artist's work!

It would need to wrap around to keep it from looking stupid. Doing a half sleeve on just the outside will give it the obvious stop you don’t want.
