Hey there,
I've got a sleeve on my left arm, elbow to wrist. Here's a few things I've been told
1. Pick a design and stick with the SAME idea for at least a year, then if it hasn't changed - go for it.
2. The arm, well there are a few moments of pain/uncomfortable feeling. Basically the entire time the needle goes over the inside of your arm especially the part near the elbow and wrist. Masochists may disagree, but you won't be laughing. Although eventually you go numb a bit and it isn't quite so bad.
3. Healing, that's a lot of work and a lot time. It will take a few trips as one person has already mentioned and if you have the time and cash (here in Canada they are not cheap, especially for the amount of work a sleeve requires). You might feel a bit foolish with a half finished piece if you can't afford to finish.
4. On that, spend the money for a good job. It's bloody permanent, excuse the pun.
That's about it for my two cents.
Cheers
