Almost everyone is familiar with sleeve tattoos that almost fully cover the arm. However, less common versions of traditional sleeve tattoos are leg sleeve tattoos, and they’re definitely worth some consideration!
A leg sleeve tattoo covers either all or a good portion of the leg.
Like traditional arm sleeve tattoos, leg sleeve tattoos may cover part or all of the leg.
Full leg sleeve tattoo designs can run from the hip to the ankle. Half leg sleeve tattoo designs, on the other hand, might cover from just the hip to the knee or just the knee to the ankle.
