A sleeve tattoo is a tattoo that goes over the entire arm and covers almost all skin on the arm. It is visible from every side and normally has personal and meaningful motives.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There are different lengths of sleeve; 1/4, 1/2; 3/4 and full.
The 1/4 goes from shoulder to midway between shoulder and elbow
The 1/2 sleeve will stop just above the elbow.
The 3/4 will stop midway between elbow and wrist
The full sleeve will run to just above the wrist joint.
Under the arm, a gap is left around the armpit usually; sometimes the elbow itself is also left.
As to coverage, it all depends on what style you are going for. Tribal (South Pacific, Marquesan, Maori, etc) will have skin gaps which are part of the design. Japanese is usually the densest for coverage. These are just two examples of style though
