Yeah that was my worry, that it perhaps looks too feminine. I think I need to speak to an artist because I'm struggling to think of ways to fill the area , especially above the sun, since the borders of the diamond make it abit awkward to expand what's already there

Yeah that was my worry as well, finding an artist with the same style etc. I am in Nottingham, England, and the city centre isn't short of tattoo parlors, so will have to find the perfect one. And yeah I'm open to cover work, I was thinking about getting the areas next to the river just shaded in completely , and the part under the trees as well

Thanks for the advice guys! I think my problem was I let the artist kinda run with it after I gave him the initial idea, and he added in all the extra little details

Hi all, I got my first (and only) tattoo whilst traveling New Zealand a few years ago. Although I was in love with it at the time , I've recently been contemplating the idea of turning the whole upper arm into a sleeve, as I think it looks Abit random in the middle of the arm. I'm a big nature and outdoors lover, so that was the inspiration when I got it. Plus I was in middle Earth , so what better time to get it . So my question is how could I turn my tat into a sleeve without it looking bad. I don't want to cover up any of the existing tattoo , because I still love it, but rather fill the whole upper arm , so the diamonds sort of like the center piece of the sleeve. Also, do you think this is a good tattoo for a guy? Perhaps I'm just over thinking it , but I am Keen to get more tattoos anyway, so if anyone has any ideas how to turn this into a cool looking sleeve , from shoulder to elbow , please feel free to share 🙂
