Black & Gray Sleeve

All of the examples below are just that—examples. Every tattoo is unique, and some pieces may require more or less time.
That said, I hope the information below helps you get a better idea of what to expect when booking your next Black & Gray Sleeve with me!

For full-day sessions (6–9 hours), I charge a flat rate of $2000.
Black & Gray Sleeves are often long and detailed projects, typically taking around 4 - 6 sessions to complete.

Session Breakdown

Below is a color-coded reference of how I typically divide up a full sleeve into sessions.

When we’re doing multi-day sessions back-to-back, I usually like to start at the top of the arm and work my way downward, which helps with healing, layering, and overall flow. That said, this isn’t a strict formula—every project is unique, and the actual session layout can vary depending on the design and how well your skin responds.

You’ll notice the arm is split into 6 distinct sections. That’s intentional—because I usually reserve the final session for finishing touches, detail refinement, or any areas that need a second pass.

This structure helps ensure a cohesive, fully healed sleeve with as little trauma to the skin as possible throughout the process.

When it comes to leg sleeves, we’re potentially looking at 8–11 sessions, as illustrated in the diagram below.
