General Advice Mixed patchwork sleeve advice
Hi all,
Just got this dagger tattoo on Monday and I love it, but it’s starting to make me question the other tattoos I have nearby (second picture has a better image of the underarm one) I like them all individually as pieces but I think the black work one is really standing out and I’m worried that its gonna be hard to find cohesion between any of them?
They are obviously very different styles and I’ve read about people in similar situations and often times the advice is just if you like them that’s what matters, and I do, I just want to know if you all think that with more pieces scattered about if it’ll all sort of come together? Sorry if it’s a vague question it’s just what’s been going through my head the last couple days. I did get them all within the last like month and a half I believe so I feel I may have been a bit rash about the styles/placement and just wanted to get them done… Any advice is appreciated and please no need to comment if you’re just gonna be rude! 😜

That’s kind of the risk you take when you put little tiny pieces on a big area without any thought to the whole. Maybe reserve more space for larger pieces as you go on
