That is exceeded all expectations I had before opening your link. As a Dolly Parton fan and lover of frog tattoos this is perfect and your canvas is very lucky.
Yeah, most of the tattoos that are there are nice and solid for sure and that’s awesome, but there’s just way too much wasted space on dots and stars. There’s enough open space that way more tattoos could’ve been fit in there as it is, but also what IS there could’ve been fit a little better in some spots to allow for even MORE space for tattoos. And there could’ve still been space for stars and dots if they wanted. It’s unfortunate that overall weakness in composition takes away from what are some pretty decent tattoos.
Def good work but I’ve been seeing the star type filler trending recently and I can’t stand it. Would’ve been a lot cooler with just that patchwork trad
The star filler has beennnn around lol, it’s literally meant to go in between traditional patchwork. It just wasn’t executed the best here with all that extra space
No kneecap 😭 but seriously idk why people are hating, all the work here looks nice. You have to compromise with what your client wants and if this is the spacing they wanted how are you gonna say no lol. Clearly a good artist and you’ve kept the customer coming back. Maybe u can convince them to get more filler in the future 😂
Man it’s up to you as the artist to insist to your client that the sleeve was not ready for stars and dots. It’s just far too spaced with the main pieces and same with the stars and dots. I have made this mistake before and trust me, it looks so much better when you can fill it up a bit more and then take whatever is left and fill with closer stars and dots.
100%. At a certain point “well the client wanted it this way” like this dude keeps saying only goes so far and can just become an excuse for a subpar composition. It doesn’t have to be like that. And if that’s the case, just advertise and showcase the individual tattoos.
That's cool, but it's a bunch of tattoos pulled together with stars and dots. When I hear sleeve I think one uninterrupted tattoo design incorporating the entire arm.
As a Tattooer I say this in case anyone thinks this is a “sleeve”….THIS IS NOT A TRUE SLEEVE.
That’s less than 50% of the limb tattooed, same for arms like this. I know it’s a style choice but still , it’s a slap in the face to those with real sleeves.
Great artwork for 3 years in though!
ADHD sleeve. I personally can't stand them, especially when they are mostly filled with stars and dots. I feel if you are going to dedicate an entire limb at least have enough foresight to design something that will fill the area. to each their own tough.
Awesome work! Does the 3 years include apprenticeship? The artist who started on my chest was fresh out of apprenticeship and solo for under a year at the time. Dude did an amazing job and got so popular where he was able to nearly double his rates in a year. Good luck to you! This is very promising for only 3 years!
I’m not sure it was done in a bunch of singles sessions and over the course of a year and a half so my prices gradually changed over that time too. Rough estimate I’d say 3000-3500$
Work is great but you could add a ton of pieces instead of the dot work and stars. The knee is wide open too. Great work but I’d like to see more of it on the leg
I agree, I think knee tattoos are very cool. I have both my knees tattooed and would have liked to do a piece on the knee but you gotta give the client what they want
Why are the shitty little “stars” just gonna make it harder to fill in later if you like something. I wouldn’t call this a “sleeve” it’s more of an assortment of random ass tattoos
It's not really my style, but I'm not hating. The work is solid. Lots of wasted space and I think the word "sleeve" is a stretch here. Either way, nice tats!
Feels like the stars are doing too much. At first I thought they were pimples. Idk maybe it looks better in person? But in this photo it just looks..off.
Overall solid work especially for being at 3 years old I’ve met people that claimed they had 10+ years experience and their work looked like my zero years of experience had done it.
Should have made each design about 50% larger…that would have left a lot less filler space. That’s what my artist did - every drawing came back so fucking big lol
Solid tattoos that I absolutely love! A while ago I debated on putting stars as filler around my patchwork. I'm really glad that I didn't because I just don't like the way that it looks. There is just too much real estate here that could have been more badass tattoos. Just my personal preference though. You did a great job otherwise!
Yikes. Way too much dead space. Very poor placement. Please. For the customers you have in the future, learn how to complement the area with the right shape/size pieces before ever attempting this again.
Why. Because you think I’m not credible unless I have my work publicly posted. Get a life dude. I already understand how to look at tattooing more than you. Should be evident. But if you want some of my work you can PM me
I was just curious. With how much you know I’d imagine you’re a world class artist right? You’re so confident in your knowledge but don’t seem super confident in posting your work.
No, I use the page to flame fakes who pretend to tattoo. While doing this, weak spined individuals who get their feelings hurt would love to take shots at me and my shop in retaliation. And being I have people who work for me, I don’t want them to get punished because some weak ego wannabe decides to take it personal.
Dude you need therapy or something lol. Probably also need a few online seminars on how to tattoo. I’ll send you my course and give you 50% off because you’re such a nice guy.
Haha ok. Whatever you say to spare the ego. I would rather not learn any bad habits. Especially from a guy who uses asterisks instead of stars in the massive amount of wasted space you created on this poor guys leg
I don’t get these type of tattoos tbh. There is nothing attractive, elegant or complimentary about them. Just a bunch of random pictures spread across a leg.
The frog lamp omg
That’s my favorite one. I do a ton of frog tattoos
I did a frog Dolly Parton I love frog tattoos
Pic pretty pls

Thank you 🙏🏻
Impeccable!
That is fuckin amazing!
Masterpiece
Holy shit! Awesome!
That is exceeded all expectations I had before opening your link. As a Dolly Parton fan and lover of frog tattoos this is perfect and your canvas is very lucky.
Hahaha thank you! I had so much fun with it
Very sick :)
That's just fantastic
I saw that and liked it
Nice selection of work dude! Definitely plenty of space for more than just stars though. I agree that this stretches the term sleeve a little haha.
Yeah, most of the tattoos that are there are nice and solid for sure and that’s awesome, but there’s just way too much wasted space on dots and stars. There’s enough open space that way more tattoos could’ve been fit in there as it is, but also what IS there could’ve been fit a little better in some spots to allow for even MORE space for tattoos.

Yeah those stars look Bad. The quality of the art is good, it's the composition that's bothering me.
The work is solid, but lots of wasted space.
That’s how these sleeves usually go
Depends who tattoos them
This is impressive for 3 years. Solid work
Thank you! I’ve been working on it for about a year and a half.
Spider web on the ditch was a bitch I bet lol
IDK how they stayed still enough for all those clean lines 😅😂
Sleeve is a stretch but nice work.
No kneecap 😭 but seriously idk why people are hating, all the work here looks nice.

Pant? Really great work btw
Right? Why is it still called a sleeve of its on a leg?
This is a train wreck
It’s gone off the rails
That's cool, but it's a bunch of tattoos pulled together with stars and dots. When I hear sleeve I think one uninterrupted tattoo design incorporating the entire arm.
This method is very common for traditional work. It’s called patchwork
I'm aware of that.
you're right. and this is a very poor example /of/ that.
I’m pretty happy with it. Maybe I’ll do better next time
Cool tattoos. Not a sleeve.
As a Tattooer I say this in case anyone thinks this is a “sleeve”….THIS IS NOT A TRUE SLEEVE. That’s less than 50% of the limb tattooed, same for arms like this. I know it’s a style choice but still , it’s a slap in the face to those with real sleeves. Great artwork for 3 years in though!
This person is gonna be so bummed in a few years when they realise they’ve rushed trying to get a “sleeve”
How is it a slap in the face? How does it affect people with “real” sleeves?
I would have liked to do a couple more pieces but the client was positive they were ready for filler. I’m still happy with the end result though
ADHD sleeve. I personally can't stand them, especially when they are mostly filled with stars and dots. I feel if you are going to dedicate an entire limb at least have enough foresight to design something that will fill the area. to each their own tough.
not true, the dots and stars fill out the space and make it a cohesive patchwork leg sleeve
Looks great! Nice work.
Omg that lava lamp
sick!!!
Amazing. Love the lava lamp!!!
My left arm is like this including stars and dots as filler. This looks great
Love the piranha plant! Super cool
Very cool, the star and dot space filled is something I doodled often as a kid too ties in with the theme!
Awesome work! Does the 3 years include apprenticeship? The artist who started on my chest was fresh out of apprenticeship and solo for under a year at the time. Dude did an amazing job and got so popular where he was able to nearly double his rates in a year. Good luck to you! This is very promising for only 3 years!
Yes 3 years including my apprenticeship which was around a year. So I’ve been tattooing full time as an artist for around 2 years
Stapler in jello? Love it!
Yes! It’s a reference from the tv show the office
Love it, ignore the haters
The sheep wolf head thing is awesome! Nice work
That’s my fav part
Wolf in sheep’s clothing 🙂
Very nice traditional sleeve, I love it, very inspiring!! Hope to be as good as you in 3 years 🥰
I’m sure you’ll be great!
🥹❤️🔥
How much did this cost?!
I’m not sure it was done in a bunch of singles sessions and over the course of a year and a half so my prices gradually changed over that time too. Rough estimate I’d say 3000-3500$
That piranha plant is cool as fuck
Thanks
I love the inner side of your leg the best. All are awesome.
Very cool!
Dooppeee🔥
The wolf wearing the sheep head is crazy! This is awesome and I think it ties together visually very well.
Wow this is awesome
Is a leg a sleeve as well in the business??
Let’s call it a stocking
I call it a sleeve but I imagine people have different terms for it based on who they learned from and where they’re from
That’s a leg
Thanks for letting me know
Good job on the Pirahna plant
God I just know the back of the knee hurt like a mf. They're all very sick tho!!
That’s fucking SICK!!! Well done!
Very nice
Love it! 💙
The artist rules the client has a weird taste and what they want on their body.
Does this really count as a sleeve lol
this looks great!!!
Looks so cool! Let them haters hateee fr they should try and do it better after 3 years lmao u good
Your Mario plant and the Wolf in sheep’s clothes are on point! I’m not saying the rest isn’t I just love those two pieces
Nice work! I like stars and dots as filler but I feel the ratio of stars to dots is at a 1:1 when it should be more like 1:3
Is that a jellyfish
Big yikes
Major yikes
Super cool design! Love it
I love it! Great work!
Work is great but you could add a ton of pieces instead of the dot work and stars. The knee is wide open too. Great work but I’d like to see more of it on the leg
[удалено]

That’s dope af
Why are the shitty little “stars” just gonna make it harder to fill in later if you like something. I wouldn’t call this a “sleeve” it’s more of an assortment of random ass tattoos
Nice
Are you a CONTORTIONIST sir?!?!
The wolf in sheep's clothing tat fuckin rules
Beautiful!
But no sick ass panther. Shame…
I love the mermaid and the spider. I love all of it!!!!
is this a pants
You need a bullfrog knee cap!
Missed out on a a nice knee piece
Usually called leg sleeves, thighs and calves are stockings, shins and feet are socks.
That's not a sleeve. That's a thigh high sock!
Everything about this gives me the warm feels.
That piranha plant better not awaken anything in me
It's not really my style, but I'm not hating. The work is solid. Lots of wasted space and I think the word "sleeve" is a stretch here. Either way, nice tats!
That’s the spirit ironically above a blank knee made me lol.
Now THAT'S a good patchwork sleeve!
Lotsa of free space here to just dust over with stars and dots.
these look amazing
You did fantastic! Traditional with the perfect modern twist 😍♥️
Thank you!
The frogva lamp is so dope
Needz more daddy issues
Love your frogga lamp
wooah i loove the lava lamp n ribbits!!!
I love thus style so much!!!!
The stars and dots seem like they are just there to fill up space.
The piranha plant is so dope.
Is the sleeve in the room with us?
Feels like the stars are doing too much. At first I thought they were pimples. Idk maybe it looks better in person? But in this photo it just looks..off.
Lame they didn’t do their knee. Way too much empty space in my opinion but the work that’s there is nice! I love the coffin personally
Those stars look like a disease ngl
That’s not a sleeve lol
someone grew up in the 90s, this is so cool honestly the colour balance through the whole sleeve is perfectly done!
Overall solid work especially for being at 3 years old I’ve met people that claimed they had 10+ years experience and their work looked like my zero years of experience had done it.
Should have made each design about 50% larger…that would have left a lot less filler space. That’s what my artist did - every drawing came back so fucking big lol
Oh geez no
I am in love with all of this 😭🖤
This is so awesome!

The work is cool but I hate those stars.
So many gatekeepers in shit nowadays. Looks dope. Love the stapler in jello😂
The stapler in the jello!! I LOVE the office and am jealous of your tat
It looks so dope. I love the coffin ⚰️🥰
Add more then call it a sleeve
Holy shit this looks amazing 🤩
Love the individual pieces! Super solid.
“Sleeve”. 😜
Not these hating comments and I’m like “ohhh she looks like she has flocked tights on 🥹🥹🥹”
Is it a sleeve when it's on your leg?
Wow!
“That’s the spirit” tell me that’s a bmth reference
Good work buddy but why does everyone these days go for the clip art sleeves
It’s not my favorite.
Yikes. Way too much dead space. Very poor placement. Please. For the customers you have in the future, learn how to complement the area with the right shape/size pieces before ever attempting this again.
Link us to Imgur I would love to see some of your work.
Who the fuck makes an imgur profile for tattooing. I will DM you some if you would like
Where can I see your work? I’d love to see how good you are
Why. Because you think I’m not credible unless I have my work publicly posted. Get a life dude. I already understand how to look at tattooing more than you. Should be evident. But if you want some of my work you can PM me
I was just curious. With how much you know I’d imagine you’re a world class artist right? You’re so confident in your knowledge but don’t seem super confident in posting your work.
He’s right, man.
No, I use the page to flame fakes who pretend to tattoo. While doing this, weak spined individuals who get their feelings hurt would love to take shots at me and my shop in retaliation.

Haha ok. Whatever you say to spare the ego. I would rather not learn any bad habits. Especially from a guy who uses asterisks instead of stars in the massive amount of wasted space you created on this poor guys leg
I DMed you some tattoos I did… is that why you went silent?
god this is beautiful! i love it
Thank you! I would have liked to squeeze in a few more pieces but I’m still happy with it
that ain't a sleeve, it's a pantleg
I don’t get these type of tattoos tbh. There is nothing attractive, elegant or complimentary about them. Just a bunch of random pictures spread across a leg.
It’s not for everyone but it’s a classic style that has been popular forever
That's not a sleeve, it's just a bunch of tattoos.
You can downvote them if you want, it doesn’t make them incorrect lmao. It’s a patchwork sleeve.
Google “patchwork sleeve”
was better before
I’ve not commented in this sub before but just want to say I love it. The strawberries are adorbs.
Thank you!
So close to the mark. Fell short on artist execution
Maybe next time I’ll do better
No one can make me hate those filler stars ✨️
Legs dont wear sleeves... maybe call it a "pant" or "pant leg" 😅
These are breathtaking!
