It can also start at the top of your shoulder and go to your elbow. Most sleeve tattoos are done with one central tattoo and may have smaller tattoos or patterns which blend around the center figure. The smaller tattoos will add depth and color to the overall sleeve tattoo tattoo. Sleeve tattoos are for the very adventurous type of person who is not ashamed to show a tattoo.
