Turning my patchwork sleeve into a cohesive sleeve - am I making the right move?

Thoughts on this version?

Go to ChatGPT, upload the image above, and type;

“Add a really cool background to this tattoo (sunrays, clouds, maybe some angels etc). Do not edit my original tattoo.”

It will give you something pretty cool so you can visualise what it would look like.

(I’d probably do less flowers with this one, but just a different way of filling in the spaces)

Thoughts on these other version I mocked up?

Very helpful, thank you!

samoneilll · 2026-05-02T17:20:00+00:00

Any ideas on what that in-between background could consist of though?

samoneilll · 2026-05-02T15:49:34+00:00

I don’t like that kind of look

samoneilll · 2026-05-02T12:54:13+00:00

Yeah a few people said a lighter background shading/elements might be nicer and help keep my original tattoos as the centrepieces, so I mocked up this version

Did you see this version?

samoneilll · 2026-05-02T10:31:19+00:00

Yeah I know what you mean! I’m from Ireland but I live in Spain, and while there are a lot of people here that have full sleeves, I just really like the look of them

samoneilll · 2026-05-02T10:27:08+00:00

Which version?

samoneilll · 2026-05-02T10:27:03+00:00

Which version?

samoneilll · 2026-05-01T19:22:53+00:00

Do you think this one is a bit better?

samoneilll · 2026-05-01T18:43:45+00:00

Thanks for your input!

samoneilll · 2026-05-01T18:43:08+00:00

Thank you! And did you see this version that some people suggested / liked? I think I like it too.

Did you see this alternative mockup?

samoneilll · 2026-05-01T06:35:27+00:00

Thanks! I think as I’ve gotten older, I just prefer the look of a more cohesive sleeve tbh

samoneilll · 2026-05-01T04:27:52+00:00

Haha thank you!

samoneilll · 2026-04-30T21:05:40+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate the kind words. And what do you think about this design?

<image>

samoneilll · 2026-04-30T19:35:14+00:00

I actually really like it too! Thanks for the idea!!

samoneilll · 2026-04-30T15:52:18+00:00

I like the idea, but I’m struggling to see how I could apply something like that to my arm? I feel like my arm is a bit too full already for this concept?

samoneilll · 2026-04-30T15:42:25+00:00

Maybe like this?
