ericl42 0 Posted January 4 Hello, I'm about to get my first tattoo and my plan was to get a half sleeve with a mountain/lake/forest theme to it. I'm looking at tying in ideas from the concepts of: Travel Adventure Love for the outdoors Fitness I think I have a fairly good idea for the main portion of my arm but what I'm trying to figure out is what I'm going to do on my inner bicep. I doubt the mountains/landscape will wrap all the way around and I don't want an obvious stop to the tattoo. Was thinking about tying in some compass, trail map, etc. type concepts to bring it all together but as I picture it in my head, I'm not a huge fan. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Attached are two tattoos that I've liked so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hogrider 1,625 Posted January 4 Why wouldn't it wrap around? I have a lot of tattoos that wrap around my arms and legs. 1 SStu reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericl42 0 Posted January 4 Not saying it can't, I just didn't know if more of a landscape type setup would wrap very well vs. other designs. I'm new to this which is why I was hoping for some thoughts/opinions. Trying to visualize it right now is hard. 🙂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oboogie 2,024 Posted January 4 I'd talk to a tattoo artist and get some ideas. 1 Hogrider reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SStu 2,245 Posted January 5 The landscape certainly could wrap around. Incorporating additionally other objects is an easy option, too. Find an artist whose work you admire and set up a consultation. Bring as many ideas and references as you can - especially theirs. 1 Hogrider reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericl42 0 Posted January 5 Thanks for the information. I currently have an artist I'm working with but I just wanted to get some different thoughts/opinions and was hoping a forum would be a good place to do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmk1987 0 Posted January 10 It would need to wrap around to keep it from looking stupid. Doing a half sleeve on just the outside will give it the obvious stop you don’t want. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
