You're working with a big area on the arm and adding a splash of color to a full sleeve tattoo makes it that much more attention grabbing. Black and white full sleeve tats can be very dramatic, but a colorful sleeve adds a pop of personality to the piece.

Just like the undulations of the ocean, the muscles in your arms expand and contract frequently in a wave-like motion. Take advantages of the natural movements of the body and get some full sleeve art that looks truly stunning.

Flowers are a sure-fire approach to a sexy full sleeve tattoo. Flowering vines of roses look great going up and down the arm as does the drama of a bouquet that's been dropped and strewn about.

Dragons are awesome. You're thinking about getting a dragon on your full sleeve tat so you clearly already know this. Shave one of your armpits and make it breathe fire in that direction so it looks like all the hair's been scorched off. Boom. Rad tattoo.

There are a lot of words you can fit on full sleeve tattoos so you might as well take advantage of it. The words can be your main attraction with images and art filling in the rest of the sleeve tat, or you can just fill your arm with words.
