Best of Luck! My sweetie is a well-known tattoo artist, and in that world they have a saying: Go Big or Go Home! Pretty glib, eh? but seriously, I went large and had NO regrets. I grew a bit more afterwards and in my case it was no problem at all. As in all things body modification-wise: Your Mileage May Vary. It all hurts, and recovery will take the time it takes. I just hope you live a healthy lifestyle, and do all the good things for self care you should. Don't smoke, stay away from carbs, take exercise, and look fabulous! Congrats and good luck!!
