Putting in a pattern over a cylinder: No overlapping?

Lets say I wanted to apply a chain mail pattern around an arm. If I had iron elbow armor and shoulder armor that I didn’t want to have the chain mail pattern, how can I apply a consistent pattern completely even around the arm with no seam? Also I don’t want the brush to paint over itself. Over-lapping is bad!

I know I can isolate the shoulder and elbow iron armor. But how can I get the pattern to be consistent all the way around the cylinder or bicep?

I can elaborate or if it’s unclear, let me know!

Thank you! =)

Flatten your cylinder UVs out into a rectangle, and apply your chain male as a tileable texture.
