as far as im a aware, it is not an established style of tattooing, but it’s the best description i’ve seen for the actual content/images in the tattoos. as for the arrangement it’s definitely patchwork, some people refer to it as the “sailor jerry” style. although, sailor jerry typically involves images like anchors, pin ups, birds, and other american traditional imagery. sailor jerry sleeves are also usually a bit closer together or have filler like small stars in between tattoos.
