Sleeves on females

Here's my 2cents. Not a fan of tats especially when they are random tatoos. Sleeves and artisticly done tats can be attractive but distracting. Here's the one thing I learned from a Nurse.... Sleeves are not good for a variety of reasons. 1) it makes it harder to find a vein if you ever need to be hospitalized and 2) the ink is toxic if they have to give you an IV. which means they have to find an untatooed part of your body to do the IV.

I have a full sleeve on my left arm thats been years in the making and honestly its still not done. But ill say this, I am settled, Im working my dream job. ill also say that my employer doesn't hold it against me that im tattooed. They realize that my work and client relations over shadow anything that could possibly be on my arm, Employers have become more tolerant. But i will also say this my sleeve work is a work of art, carefully thought out tastefully done and painful as hell.
As a tattoed guy only advice ill give you is if you get it done dont go to just anyone , do your research...a scratcher can hurt you ...

great advice thank you

In your line of work the tattoo might work against you although I tend to think tattoos are extremely hot. I'm covered with quite a few myself some I'm not a fan of and some I love but that's what happens sometimes. I've gotten feedback from some of the providers I've seen that liked them but I think its different for us having them than you. Just think long and hard about it, but I would say yes for my own preferences, but then again you aren't in Rochester either.

I am against tattoos of any kind. Nothing like the natural look in my book. Also against implants, fwiw. But then I'm old (school).

And this is FOREVER>>>>

Ok, so thought I would post this here so ladies can get in on it to, I've been thinking about getting a sleeve done on my arm, now, when you see ladies with them, it suits them, honestly to me they look hot as heck, now with me I've got a few tats that I loveeeee, but as for a full length sleeve done I don't know, what does everyone think of a female with their sleeves done?

I love most of them on other people, but....

I love a nicely done sleeve. I rarely find tattoos distracting and sometimes dont even remember seeing them. I do agree that you should do alot of research, get the right person with the same forsight that you have. Janine Lindenmulder comes to mind for me. I have a hot pic of her, but have no idea how to upload it onto here.

Well i have a full sleeve on my left arm . Everything i get means something to me dearly. Ive started my right arm to . Sooner or later ill run out of room. Lol. What can i say its my second most favorite addiction.

They might have been nice at one time, but age, sun, ect... had taken its toll.
Even when they were nice, it still looks horrible when you are in a nice dress.
IMHO it is a huge mistake. You never know where life will bring you. Sleeves on females is a bad choice, and one that will be impossible to fix.

They def look better on males, super sexy on guys
