Hi all,

Not sure if ive posted in the right section or not, if i have please move it 😉

Im after a few ideas for a vintage tattoo sleeve, ive got a few ideas already like sugar skulls, owls, hour glass, pocket watch maybe a grand father clock or something along those lines.

Anyone have any ideas on what i could add to that?

Cheers

Lee

I’m not sure I see vintage in the items you have listed for your tat. It looks to me that they are more time based, with the exception of the sugar skull. Maybe you should run with a time based tattoo- Clocks, Hour glass, pocket watch in the background could be made up of gears and stuff?

Personally, I think the sugar skull doesn’t fit in. You need to be careful that you don’t grab a bunch of random shit and throw it into a tattoo because then you’ll have a tattoo of random shit. Pick a theme and run with it.

actually if u go with an old school (traditional americana)theme, like mentioned above, random shit looks very cool. i know a guy on another forum who has all kinds of randomness on his sleeve and its dope as fuck!

Cheers for the replies :p

I suppose it is more old school didn’t really know how to categorise it. I’m probably not gonna go down the time based sleeve, they were just a few ideas that I had. Anything you think I could add to the list?
