so the sleeve should involve:<br />

i must admit i too thought it was a tear. if you compare that part of the drawing to your tattoo you&#8217;ll notice it bends downwards and not to the side and up hence the look like a tear sort.</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i use bepanthen for a few days then when its starting to peel move over to a non fragrent moisturising lotion. does the trick well.<br />
one thing with the bepanthen is it can be a bit thick however you can make it less by warming up the cream first (put the tube in the airing cupboard or by a radiator). makes it loads easier to apply</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Building on from what&#8217;s already been said&#8230;.think of what you want/like and then see how that can be incorporated into a sleeve. Even if your best idea seems very small, and you think it won&#8217;t &#8216;fill&#8217; a sleeve, take it inboard as it more then likely can be broken down and elaborated on.</p>
