Hi, basically I’m looking to get a nice sleeve, in black and grey with shading and stuff.

Problem being, I have an old tattoo (the only one I really dislike), and it’s right on my forearm in bold black letters. (The usual name people get when they’re like 18).

I like pin-ups and protrait style stuff, lots of shading and greys and whatnot.. which makes it difficult to cover it up with that kinda thing so I’m finding.

My left arm, the other one is also an option as it’s pretty open apart from a pin-up on the underside.. but I’m unsure whether adding more stuff to that arm might not flow with the sleeve overall as the pin-up might look a little seperate.

I’m open to having a sleeve made up of different bits though, pin-ups, clouds in the background etc.. whatever works, basically just filling my arm with good black and grey shaded type work. Ed Lee, Kat Von D type stuff.

In the past I’ve only really had small lettering done, usually on the spur of the moment, but since getting my first piece kinda, the pin-up, I’ve caught the bug and wanna get some good work on me.

I have pretty thin arms also if that might help/hinder any ideas.

Here’s a pic or two.

Any ideas?
