you're not gonna get the tattoo done in one session, that's for sure.
Take the time to find an artist who knows their shit. Dont have a friend do it. Don't pick the most local guy possible. If you have to drive 2 hours to your appointment, do it. Just make sure you pick the right person.
Start with a central design - something that you KNOW YOU REALLY WANT. Get that done on the first day. Experience the pain. Wait a while and let it grow on you. Keep in mind, you're STUCK with it. Once you are comfortable with it and still desire a whole sleeve, schedule about 3 or 4 more trips. If you're a tattoo rookie, you cannot hope to have a complete sleeve done in anything less.
Eat a full meal on the day that you get a tattoo and eat a candybar right beforehand. You lose a lot of stamina with that needle at you constantly. Your endorphins are gonna be shot.
That's the basic outline.
