Tattoo Sleeves & Large-Scale Projects in Huntsville
A sleeve isn’t ten tattoos on one arm — it’s one artwork that happens to take several sessions. That difference is planning, and it’s where large-scale work is won or lost.
I build full arm sleeves, half sleeves, full leg sleeves, and back pieces — all in black & grey realism, with red gamma or selective color accents where the concept calls for it.
How a sleeve is planned
Before the first session, we establish the concept, the flow of the composition around your arm or leg, and a session-by-session roadmap. Realism sleeves are built so each session completes a coherent zone — you never walk around for months with random disconnected fragments.
Sessions are spaced at least two weeks apart so each area heals before we work next to it. Most clients book a steady rhythm and have a finished sleeve in a few months — and the roadmap flexes to your schedule and budget.
What sleeves cost
Half arm or half leg sleeve — 2 full days — $3,400
Full arm sleeve — about 4.5 days — around $7,650
Full leg sleeve — 5–6 days — $8,500–$10,200
Back piece — 4–6 days — $6,800–$10,200
A $500 deposit books each session day and comes off that day’s cost. Want to move faster or need a weekday? Off-day sessions (Mon–Wed) run $3,000 per full day.
It all starts with a free consultation — Thursday–Sunday, 12:00–5:30 PM at Cherno Ink Tattoo Studio, Huntsville.
