Hey,

I'm interested in designing a full sleeve for my arm, but finding it difficult to get the layout right. Is there a standardized template people use for paper or what? Like what shape does it need to be, since it's wrapping around part of the arm, then have to take into account the shoulder, I just can't find any examples of people laying it out flat on paper.

Anyone have an example?

Wrap tracing paper around the arm and mark some reference points.(Elbow, ditch, other tattoos..ect.) This can now be laid out flat for design.

When the transfer is made, it'll have to be cut into manageable peices to place them onto the skin.
