Question/Advice

I'm about to pull the trigger on a whole sleeve (my first fully visible, and largest, piece) based on images from my favourite works of literature. They're a big range of very different images, based on books from very different eras, styles and cultures. Where I'm stuck is - how best to coordinate or join up the separate images, which have nothing to do with each other beyond the fact that they're all based on books? I want to avoid smoke etc. Anyone had any similar experiences? Any advice gratefully appreciated 👍

Have you talked to your artist yet? I don't have any book tattoos or sleeves or collages, but that'd be the place to start. If you're just looking to hear others' experiences, though, feel free to ignore my comment!

Find a tattoo artists you trust and let them do it. Their the professionals they will know what looks best. Just try to be open minded and trust your artist.
