Sleeves and back pieces in Laredo
Big work, planned properly. Half sleeves, full sleeves, leg sleeves and back pieces designed to flow with your body, not stickers stacked together.
Planned as one piece
A good sleeve is designed as a whole: how it wraps the arm, where the focal points land, how the background ties everything together. Bring your theme and any pieces you want included, and the full layout gets drawn before the first line.
Sessions
Most large pieces are done over several sessions. Some clients want it done fast: Andrew has finished half sleeves in a single sitting and runs long sessions of 11 hours and more when the client is up for it.
Themes that work at scale
Anime half sleeves, dark and horror sleeves, dragons and koi, floral sleeves, angels and religious sleeves, neo-tribal and ornamental back pieces. Browse the portfolio to see finished examples in each style.
Already have pieces on your arm?
Existing tattoos can often be connected into a sleeve with a background and fillers. Send photos of what is already there.

It depends on detail and color. Most take several sessions; some clients prefer long single-day sessions.
Can you connect my existing tattoos into a sleeve?
Often yes. Send photos of your current tattoos with the request.
Do I need the whole design before starting?

Do you do back pieces?
Yes, from ornamental and neo-tribal to dragons, angels and full color work.
