Just after some advice regarding a full sleeve. I already have a few tattoo's but really want a Japanese full sleeve.
Could someone tell me the rough cost of one and time scale etc. Would like full colour etc, and also feel free to post up any pics of your own sleeves, and any tattooists you would recommend.
Thanks

I am about 30 hours into my full sleeve.....If you base it on about £40 an hour, you wont be far off......
I have about 10 hours or so to go on mine then i will get some pics up

The first 2 sittings were about 5 hours........Then i have had 2/3 hour sittings at different times.
Some Tattooists only book for 2 hours stints so that they are not turning too much work away.....
Having a full sleeve is VERY time consuming.......and you have to go through the stages of it looking a bit strange as the outlining is done first.......then the shading ect ect.....You will get people asking if that is it!!!!!!........lol, as it you would leave it half done.lol

It depends what you want, how much detail you want in it, where you get it done.
The only way you will get a firm answer is to find a tattoo studio you would like to go to, go and speak to someone about it and see what they think.
How far are you willing to travel to get a good tattoo?

Sorry havent been on here for a few days but thanks for the comments.
Basically want a full Japanese sleeve, mostly black and white shading etc but with some colour, ie in the koi fish which i want at the top of my arm and then some cherry blossoms.
A bloke i used to work with had a full body suit, and he had it done in luton at Alans Tattoos so was thinking about going there as he loves doing Japanese style stuff?
Anyone been there?
