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

[@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. 😊

[@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.

Perfect Job! 🖤

🌕 Hey, ur freaking amazing. I am a now another one of your disciples. I’m am so glad you offer your personal feelings and share your artistic methods of magic madness. Thx a bunch🤙

[@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.

[@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

[@paulcarino6893]

I would love to have my first tattoo with you. OMG im obsessed. Hands down to you sir.

[@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?

[@jamesadviento6178]

Question Bro’ what woulnyou recommend for someone who has skinny arms? Patch work or a classic sleeve? Love your work btw! 🔥👌🏻

[@Wolfhammered]

Incredible artist

[@jessicaarmstrong228]

Well done video 👍🏼 Kept me completely engaged

[@danielsilvatattoos]

Trying !!!

[@dred5003]

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?

[@wolfc5712]

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

[@pratanchaipien7925]

Your tattoos inspired me to want my first tattoo. Luv to watching you

[@Charmed97]

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

[@nediAW]

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

[@user-ql9rk3pt7y]

You seem so much more happy and at peace with yourself and it’s great to see ❤

[@Harsh-dp6ok]

I am about to get a tattoo done on my forearm and a lil confused for the tattoo design. Would really like to know if this particular design has some kind of a meaning to it cuz i would get it done for sureeee...kindly recommend some good geometric patchwork designs for half sleeve tattoo since it would be my first tattoo. Thanks

[@SOinTX]

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

[@samansalar7611]

i like both

[@freddykrueger7406]

I literally got both 😂😂❤

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

I’m sure your tired of answering this question, but what machines are you using in this video? For a second they looked like coils, but one is for sure a rotary, and the bigger one looks like it’s one of those hybrids machines.

[@kiernikkodomdom7653]

are you using a wash or white ink?

[@MrSAHIL-fe7mw]

Hello brother.....what's your machine Volt / speed while lineing and stripping ...

[@Ktm-jas]

I like both , One arm of each 😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@tlane819527]

Currently working on a patchwork Star Wars sleeve in traditional American

[@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.🖤

[@realgtaak545]

Whitch machine is that ?

[@stevelock6560]

hey how can’t i get tattoos from u

[@ostbagar3]

I sort of like both🙈

[@gareebblogs2319]

Teacher. Can you teach me please.. Love form India

[@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

[@the......gudu3223]

Sir we are your big fan from India. Sir please leave a little video in hindi, we do not understand your language.

[@guywithbigbrain9332]

bro i want to get a tattoo from you. I will come after 3-8 years.

[@Neon_Ghost1]

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

[@helpmeget1ksubs681]

Honestly they both is an amazing styles love them both! ❤❤

[@KaizerSozeRaps]

Why not both?

[@cindywillette3169]

I seen you on ink master

[@_JM-]

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.

[@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

[@fakherx1588]

Can you tattoo a 17 year old ?im looking forward to it

[@AdelTamer]

daniel is a real fucking artist man... ill have a sesh soon

[@danielsilvatattoos]

[@peterpete7405]

do the dotted lines fade faster over time? what is a price of a normal sleeve patch work (for a good artist in general)

[@BossMovesOfficial]

Never ask an artist "how much for a sleeve" just saying. It will always depend on what you get

[@TyshawnJones-th7zw]

Can I see some tattoos on Melanie skin color????

[@JOKE485]

I turnt my patchwork into a sleeve, problem solved.

[@bigboyope]

Sincerely i love both… but i have an ongoing patchwork sleeve in progress

[@littlebro1818]

I mean, im only 41secs in and I've already started patchwork, but I also want traditional work as well, that means I have symbols of my ancestors.

[@hansrelaxingdeepsleep937]

Nah I can’t choose that’s why, on my left is a classic and on the right is a cartoon patch work

[@tayvonwolfe2499]

I have a classic sleeve on one arm and working on a patchwork on the other. Best of both worlds lol

[@effytraveler6155]

I designed my first tattoo. But the other styles will be realistic bird work in color, one in black and white. My partner is designing a tattoo for me. 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.

To me personally patchwork doesn't look like a sleeve. I prefer the original and that's what I have on both arms, I just think patchwork seems like the new tribal, I want to go in all day when I go see my tattoo guy it's like therapy

[@franciscomagallon3364]

[@officialdudedolan4943]

I like my patch work because i got the tattoos for me, not to please any one else. If they like it then fine!

[@protein4ken637]

Classic sleeve. Looks a lot cleaner

[@wakeno.6047]

Not really, patchwork is cleaner, but its harder to create a flow. While Classic sleeces always have a flow.

[@tientruong2007]

Patchwork looks more elegant if the artist is good. Classics can get lost in the grey and aren't as striking imo.

[@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.

I don’t understand why it’s considered a classic sleeve when traditional patchwork tattooing is what started more common, front-faced tattoo community/culture.
