Body Suit
Large tattoo, generally with a single theme, that covers the whole torso and sometimes legs (full body suit). Before it was mostly found on Yakuza members and circus performers, today it’s becoming more common among tattoo fans with no fear of commitment.
Full sleeve
A tattoo (or set of tattoos) that fully cover the arm. It can be present as one single tattoo, one big composition or several arm tattoos.
Generally they start on the bicep and end at the wrist. If the tattoo cover the whole arm and shoulder, it’s a full sleeve. If it’s from shoulder to elbow, it’s a half sleeve.
Half Sleeve
Covers only a portion of the arm, typically from the shoulder to the elbow or from the elbow to the wrist. Like a full sleeve, a half sleeve can consist of multiple smaller tattoos or a single design. It offers a middle ground between a smaller tattoo and a full sleeve, providing ample space for artwork while still allowing for flexibility in terms of coverage.
Backpiece
A tattoo that covers the whole back. Generally it’s a composition with several elements added through time to complete Japanese traditional pieces or black and grey works.
Tramp Stamp
A tattoo generally made in the lower-back popular in the late 90s and early 21st century. More common in women than men, they often depict images of flowers, butterflies, quotes or tribal patterns. Popular in the media and movies, it developed a reputation associated with sexual appeal. It faded in popularity due to its subsequent association with sexual promiscuity.
Leg Sleeve
similar to a full sleeve but refers to a tattoo design that covers the entire leg, from thigh to ankle. It encompasses a large area and allows for a wide range of artistic expression. Leg sleeves can feature various themes, such as nature, animals, abstract designs, or personal narratives. They often require multiple sessions to complete due to the extensive coverage involved.
