Japanese Sleeve Tattoo. A sleeve tattoo or tattoo sleeve is a large tattoo or collection of smaller tattoos that covers most or all of a person's arm. There is a difference between an arm covered in tattoos and a sleeve tattoo: a sleeve tattoo has a unified theme.
They have a distinct and unmistakable look, making them perhaps the most easily recognizable tattoos around the world. This is what's to be a full sleeve japanese tattoo, but it's not yet colored. Japanese tattoos are interesting tattoos for a reason.
