Half Sleeve Tattoos in Houston
Ready to Wear Your Art On Your Sleeve?
At Lunar Ink Gallery, we specialize in high-quality, custom half sleeve tattoos in Houston that reflect your personal style and tell your story. Whether you’re starting your first big piece or adding to an existing design, our skilled artists are here to help you bring your vision to life.
Half sleeve tattoos are the perfect balance of visibility and versatility. Covering either the upper arm (shoulder to elbow) or lower arm (elbow to wrist), they offer enough space for detailed designs without committing to a full sleeve (before you’re ready, at least). They’re easy to show off or cover up, depending on your mood or setting.
From black and gray realism to bold neo-traditional or colorful Japanese styles, half sleeves offer creative freedom and striking visual impact.

Houston Half Sleeve Tattoos - Custom Artwork Tailored to You
At Lunar Ink, we don’t do cookie-cutter designs. Every sleeve tattoo we create is custom-drawn with your input and vision. You’ll sit down with one of our experienced artists to talk about your ideas, references, and goals. We’ll work with you to build a half sleeve that fits your arm, your aesthetic, and your story.
Not sure what direction to go in? That’s okay. We’re here to guide you through every step of the design process, helping you refine your concept into something bold, cohesive, and unique. Getting a half sleeve tattoo is a journey. Here’s how we make it smooth and stress-free:
Initial Consultation
You’ll meet with your artist (in-person or virtually) to talk about your ideas, placement, style, and scheduling.
Half Sleeve Design
Your artist creates a custom half sleeve tattoo design, collaborating with you for feedback and revisions.
Your Tattoo Sessions
Most half sleeves take multiple sessions. We’ll schedule these based on your pain tolerance, time, and healing.
Your Tattoo Aftercare
We provide detailed tattoo aftercare instructions and check-ins to ensure your tattoo heals perfectly.
Each session is done in a clean, professional environment with top-of-the-line equipment and strict hygiene standards.
The Perfect Starting Point for Your Tattoo Journey
Half sleeve tattoos are more than just body art — they’re the start of a story told through custom ink. With just the right amount of canvas, a half sleeve lets you showcase a personal narrative, symbolic imagery, or detailed themes that matter to you. It’s the ideal space to begin expressing your individuality in a bold and intentional way.
One of the best parts? You’re not locked into one final form. A half sleeve can easily evolve over time, giving you the flexibility to build on your artwork as your story grows. If you ever decide to expand, it’s a smooth transition to upgrade your half sleeve into a full sleeve without disrupting the original flow of the design.
Whether you’re planning one epic piece or laying the foundation for a future full sleeve, our artists will design your tattoo with cohesion and long-term vision in mind.
