Mens Sleeve Tattoo Designs In Scotland
Thinking of getting a sleeve tattoo? Whether you're in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen or Dundee, sleeve tattoos are one of the most popular, striking and expressive forms of body art across the UK. From half sleeve tattoos to full sleeve tattoos, forearms to legs. We do it all.
What Is A Sleeve Tattoo?
A sleeve tattoo typically refers to a large tattoo that covers either the arm or leg. It can be completed all at once or gradually over several sessions. Depending on the coverage, there are three main types:
Half Sleeve Tattoo
Covers the upper arm from the shoulder to the elbow, or occasionally the lower arm to the wrist.
Generally covering the inside and outside of the arm.
Full Sleeve Tattoo
Covers the entire arm, both inside and outside, from the shoulder down to the wrist.
Forearm Sleeve Tattoo
Focuses only on the forearm, popular for both visibility and discreet cover-ups.
Inner Arm Sleeve Tattoo
Targets the inner bicep or forearm, offering a more personal and often less painful tattooing experience.
Leg Sleeve Tattoo
Covers the upper or full leg, from thigh to ankle. Each sleeve type serves a unique aesthetic and functional purpose depending on your lifestyle, job, and personal expression.

Realism Tattoo
Whether it's black-and-grey or full colour, realism tattoos are perfect for men's tattoo sleeve designs. They look absolutely stunning, making your arm or leg a canvas for photographic-level detail.
Geometric Tattoo
Ideal for fans of symmetry and precision, geometric tattoos work well for forearm sleeve tattoos or leg sleeve tattoos. Think intricate patterns, sacred geometry, mandalas, or minimalist linework.
Japanese Sleeve Tattoo
Rich with cultural symbolism, dragons, koi fish, and cherry blossoms floral tattoos are just some of the elements used in bold and colourful Japanese-style half sleeve and full sleeve ink. These designs often blend seamlessly across the arm or leg for maximum impact.
Blackwork & Dotwork
These styles use black ink and negative space to create depth and movement. Inner arm sleeve tattoos and half sleeves are great options for those who want to start small with a bold look.
Neo-Traditional and Old School
Blending bright colours, thick lines, and retro motifs, these styles are timeless. They’re especially popular for forearm sleeve tattoos or as the base layer for expanding to a full sleeve tattoo.
