How do I choose the size and placement of a Half Sleeve Tattoo Ideas design?
Match the size to the level of detail. The most common style in this gallery is Blackwork. Detailed styles such as realistic, Japanese or watercolor need room to stay legible as the tattoo ages, so they suit the forearm, upper arm, thigh or back. Minimalist and fine-line versions can stay small, for example on the wrist, ankle or behind the ear. Print the design at the size you want, hold it against the spot you are considering, and settle the final size and placement with your tattoo artist.
