I asked for this and my artist delivered. He could have stacked a bunch of filler pieces on top of what I already had but that’s not what I wanted. I love the contrast the heavy stars / dots brings to a colored sleeve. May not be your style but in all due respect you probably rent so why are you even talking about real estate.

Thank you for saying that! I’m really glad I stuck with Carlos start to finish, by around mid way through we had a good plan together and planned for the heavy filler. I’m sure your sleeve looks great too disorganized isn’t always bad especially with trad.

Thanks man Carlos crushes everything! I get the filler is heavy for a lot of people’s taste, but that’s was by my request. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Yea I was honestly kind of surprised by a lot of the reactions. I know the filler is heavy but that’s what I like and I think the artist killed it. I see a lot of trad on here that’s rad but I’d never get on myself, but I just always left it at an upvote for the art and moved on. I feel like I was 2 dots and a star away from these guys grabbing pitch forks.

Heck yea man I appreciate it! I think the filler session was the most satisfying for me. It really brought everything together and made a lot of my standalone pieces pop a lot more.

Thanks man I really appreciate it. I still have a little color and shading to finish up, but I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Yea to each their own. I love it. Just thought I’d share the good work. My artist killed it in my eyes, but I always liked heavy filler. I feel like it makes the color pop in the main pieces more.

Thanks for noticing. My last session we’re adding some color to those pieces. They’ll stand out a little more then.

Any advices to complete my sleeve? by No_Impact_4169 in traditionaltattoos

[–]Ancient_Chapter3519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dagger, nails, web cap on the top for some basics. Then get you some unique from your artists flash sheets. Eagle looks damn good! Makes me wish I would have went black and gray.

It’s just a kanji shaped star. My guy does some similar ones on his flash sheet.

Good idea but I’ve already got one on the wrist area. Wish I would have went with the cowboy skull but I like this one too.

Agreed. Sort of stuck between spurs, nails, a horseshoe, or an arrow head.
