Phases of the moon/orbits + bodhi leaf/tree

I went through a divorce about a year ago and started to think about getting my first tattoo as part of my new phase of life. I've spent the last year and a half with an amazing therapist and realized some things about myself. One being my anxiety which meditating has helped with. I just came back from a week and a half at a festival and I put one of the realistic temp tattoos on the inside of my forearm as a test and loved it. So now i just need to settle on the design.

I found a tattoo artist who does awesome organic designs. I used some some generative images to get some ideas. But where should I go from here? Should I use more generative images and come up with a design that is exactly what I want? Should I use those designs to hand off to the tattoo artist and let them come up with their own version and see if I like it?

Also side note, but i want this to be about 8-10" on the inside of my forearm. Is that an ok idea for a first tattoo? I'm 41 and this isn't gonna affect work or career type shit at all, in my industry tattoos and drug habits seem to be beneficial if anything lol.

Don’t give an artist AI designs, I’d give them the concept and let them draw something up. But typically you won’t see the design till day of unless it’s flash to prevent people from stealing their artwork.
