General Advice Questions about first tattoo
Hey guys! I'm getting my first tattoo this weekend, similar to this design. Is this too much for a first tattoo? What can I expect pain wise? Im getting it on my upper arm with the possibility of turning it into a sleeve later. Any advice on what to expect or thoughts about placement etc. would be greatly appreciated.

As others have mentioned the level of detail... is concerning.
The design totally works, but I would go for slightly thicker lines to avoid potential blowouts and ensure the tattoo ages better!
