The DIFFERENCE between Patchwork and Classic Sleeves

[@dulcepicante]

I’m a patchwork gal. I love the idea that each tat has its own unique design and meaning. You can vary artists to create something unique to you. I will agree that a classic sleeve can be nice when designed right. 😊

[@DavidBee101]

Patchwork for me, I'm too indecisive to commit to one large piece and I like collecting pieces from different styles of artists. Besides, you can always add filler later on if you want to fill it out.

[@jamisonwoodson8548]

Exactly as long as you keep them somewhat cohesive you can fill in and have it look very nice. I think small patchwork is where things go wrong

[@ZeroBudgetGuide]

@@jamisonwoodson8548not if you mix up sizes, look up Vinnie hackers body, looks amazing in small patchwork

[@Fiorwestcoast]

The reason I choose patchwork is because I can't tell what's going on with a classic sleeve. From 5 feet away I can't see what's going on. With patchwork I can clearly see the entire image for each piece.

[@AVeryGoodTime]

True

[@zacharydalton8132]

I’ve never like the look of a traditional sleeve. Just looks like a jumbled mess

[@MrAmadeus1998]

I agree. Often it just looks like blobs of different values from afar. That being said, who cares how they look from far away.

Patch work 👍🏽 your sleeve is getting created as things happen in your life

[@FindingMyselfOutside]

Both for me. I got my chest and both sleeves done while I was living in Japan and it’s all in traditional style. My hands done Japanese traditional too. But my legs are all patchwork

[@michcookies]

I’m working on a patchwork sleeve. I did initially start on a classic sleeve but I hated how the artist did it (it was my upper arm and I couldn’t see the back as she worked on it) and at the time I was going through a difficult period in my life so if just added to everything that was going on. Looking back, what I wanted wasn’t a style she usually did, so I should’ve researched more into artists, but she’d done one for me already and I felt a loyalty to go back to her rather than one of the other artists in the studio (daft, I know). I wish she’d said that wasn’t her style, and I wish I explained a lot better what I wanted. I didn’t go back after the first session and instead got what was already there covered because of the memories now attached to it. I was so excited about it as well, it was a thing I was looking forward to in amongst all the shit that was going on, so that’s probably what made it feel more disappointing than it was. I'm now three tattoos into it. I don’t really have a plan for the final product, but I’m enjoying filling it up with my ideas. I’m not bitter about the first tattoo coverup now, if it hadn’t have happened I wouldn’t have the tattoos I now have.

[@danielsilvatattoos]

Thank you!!!

[@Neon_Ghost1]

Like shouldn't tattoos be a self expression of whatever TF you want? I hate when people get all uppity about 'tradition'

[@nediAW]

They both look amazing, i personally prefer patchwork because it allows for more designs and different styles.

[@TactlessGuy]

Is it feasible to do something that's a combination of both styles? Like starting off with small designs but then expanding them into a more cohesive uniform sleeve?

[@luvlost03]

I love both and have patchwork myself but I think it depends just what you want and if you are going with a theme.

[@maxdeez35boys]

From someone who has both it just depends what you want. I started with patchwork on bottom arms, forearm and wrist and my upper arm is a full sleeve. So now it doesn't flow so since I can't changed the sleeve I can turn the patchwork to a sleeve with some shading. IMO I definitely like the classic sleeve as it flows but I believe whatever you choose just be consistent. All patchwork or all classic. If not whether you like it or not it doesn't look right to have both. Choose one or the other

[@SOinTX]

Both are incredible. I think I love the patchwork more.

[@codyholsinger3915]

I've been tattooing for 13 years and typically do mostly classic black n grey realism sleeves. I love both styles and find it strange to find out people hate on patchwork style tattoos. I find the patchwork style more challenging and maybe that's because of my lack of experience in that particular style. If I had to guess why a certain population of artists hate on patchwork I would say it comes from being complacent/intimidated by a new style taking over the scene.

[@Chill-mm4pn]

I like both but I like having individual pieces that flow together. My legs will be all one tattoo (cyber legs/cyberpunk theme. My arms have different pieces that flow together. My tattoos are all dark themed, macabre, alternative or occult (spiritual for me). Black ink because I'm melenated. I like the way they look shaded.🖤

Привет из России, Даниель. Успехов вам в вашем творчестве. Как вы думаете что лучше использовать для данной техники нанесения, базовые грейвоши или самодельные? Я тут задумался- самодельные грейвоши из концентрированного черного должны по заживлению давать другой эффект чем базовый, ведь в концентрированном черном частички больше и дот-пиксель не должен так расплываться после заживления по сравнению с базовым, где частички мелкодисперсные и ориентированы более сильно расплываться,что бы дать более мягкую тень? Был ли у Вас опыт сравнения? И что вы думаете по этому поводу?

[@mexicanakinskywalker6762]

classic sleeve imo is more modern. the patchy stuff is more unique and calls back to early traditional style tattoos. i personally like a more vintage classic look so for me, the patch work is more aesthetic because you can also tell what each piece is easier than ink everywhere. just my opinion

[@Charmed97]

doing patchwork on my leg and having a great time just collecting cool art 😎

[@365tonkatruckfit2]

Yeah, my soul screams patchwork. When I got mine done at the age of 30 two weeks ago, I did not even know I was doing “patchwork”, but it feels good, because I was sheltered growing up and everyone tired to tell me to do things that they felt was right for me, but those things did not fit me. Later on in Life I learned I have to do what fits me and as of a couple years ago, I was correct. Patchwork tattoos makes me feel that I can trust myself to bet on myself in Life. I LOVE my patchwork tattoos.

[@wolfc5712]

I like both I am working on a full classic sleeve and a patchwork leg sleeve and both are nice.

[@MrIncorr3ct]

patchwork for me too. IMO that's how tattoos are meant to be, the "traditional " style. IMO it looks better and it allows you to be more unique and creative. You can have tattoos about things you're into, things you think are cool ... its a story of your personality and says a lot about a person. A "traditional" tattoo is just like having wallpaper on your arm

[@Wolfhammered]

The patchwork sleeves look sick when they start to flow. You have to get a decent amount of ink though before you get to that point.

I’m having the basic birds on electricity poles because I take pictures of birds on wires and trees. I want another cartoon in a different area. All those styles wouldn’t work if I did one theme leg sleeve. Nah. Patchwork works for me.

[@reactormator]

It's art. On your body. Not anyone ELSE'S body. Yours. If others don't like it they can close their eyes, look away, turn off the video...lots of options. The ONLY thing for me is that if you want super questionable tattoos like nudity, sex acts, genitalia, extremely disturbing images in general, PLEASE get them where you can cover them up in "mixed company". Like, you wouldn't enter a public space with kids and start pulling out your privates and shouting curses at the top of your lungs. Same principle here.
