Japanese Leg Sleeve Tattoos
George • Oct 12, 2019


 Japanese Leg Sleeve Tattoos like any other large scale project require a lot of work and commitment. If you decided to start your leg sleeve project, prepare yourself for a journey.

The amount of time we gonna need to finish is hard to estimate, as it depends on many things like – actual size, design details, skin condition, healing, etc.. We recommend to set up monthly appointments. Each appointment takes 4-5 hours of constant tattooing (with small breaks if needed), meaning – constant pain, for some its a good reason for meditation, for others its a challenge, either way its a process of learning and transformation.

These sleeves took about 8-10 session each and it was stretched for about one year. The healing and working process was pretty great and Im happy how it all turned out.

Blue octopus and cherry blossoms tattoo sleeve
By George Bardadim 13 Mar, 2024
In the world of tattoos, the Japanese irezumi style is known for its intricate designs, bold colors, and deep symbolism. One popular motif in this style is the blue octopus and cherry blossoms, often seen in full sleeve tattoos. This combination of elements holds significant meaning in Japanese traditions and culture. The blue octopus Known as "tako" in Japanese, is a powerful symbol of intelligence, adaptability, and mystery. In Japanese folklore, the octopus is also associated with transformation and regeneration due to its ability to regenerate its limbs. This creature is often seen as a guardian and protector, representing strength and resilience. Cherry Blossoms  On the other hand, cherry blossoms, or "sakura" in Japanese, are a well-known symbol of beauty, impermanence, and the transient nature of life. These delicate flowers bloom for a short period of time before falling to the ground, reminding us of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living in the present moment.
