Planning a cohesive sleeve requires choosing a theme, establishing visual flow, and balancing large focal pieces with smaller filler elements. The result is a wearable mural that tells a story from shoulder to wrist.

Sketch-style tattoos replicate the look of pencil or pen drawings, often including visible construction lines and loose strokes. The intentionally unfinished quality gives the design an artistic, work-in-progress feel.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
