Tattoo sleeves become a fashion fad
DOHA: The intolerable temperature of the harsh summer compels people who could not stay indoors all the time to look for alternatives to guard their skin from the adverse effects of the sun such as sunburn and skin cancer.
One way is to wear protective clothing such as slip on tattoo sleeves, which are fast becoming a fad to some residents.
Available mostly in small ready-to-wear retail stores in souqs, these tattoo sleeves are a hit not only because of their designs which look real but also of the high temperature being witnessed in Qatar as the peak of summer has arrived. “More and more people are buying tattoo sleeves every day since this is good for the summer,” said Geean, a shopkeeper in one of the shops at the National area.
These sleeves made from stretchable washable nylon are priced from QR10 to QR25 depending on the artwork, which have tiger, snake, dragon, celtic and tribal designs, among others. The tattoo patterns are imposed on a flesh coloured fabric matching one’s skin tone which when worn mimics a real tattoo which is a trend many cultures.

I wear them on the Bike, have done for quite some time now. Not only protects you from the rays, but is also good for keeping you a little bit cooler as you're going along the road.
Never really thought of it as a fashion item though lol.
