Definately get it on your arm, as that is where your heart is set on having it by the sounds of things, and putting it somewhere else would be settling for second best.
As long as you go to a decent artist and take care of your tattoo (I.e.Don't sunbathe, as this WILL age your skin and thus your tattoo) then it should look good for years to come.
If in twenty or thirty years time it does start to look faded or anything, you can always re-work it.

Well I don't plan on getting a sleeve or a half sleeve...if I do decide to do a half sleeve it will def be one piece on my other arm. I just want her singly.

Sierra, some of those pics were really great! They do look good with them.

I def feel better now.

I don't sunbathe, but I do tan easily...I put on sunscreen ever day (I am afraid of skin cancer...you live in the desert and it pops up all the time around here...plus you will pretty much get sunburned out here)

But I think I am feeling better, and you fail me your absolutely right. I think it would look weird somewhere else.

And jim I know she is going to be painful because I want her in my innermost arm...towards the bottom near my elbow. but I think it would look so much better there and natural then lets say on the front or closer to my shoulder like, no?

Just like my piercer says, you have to go where you instinctively drawn to!

If I got a dollar for every time I repented the sin then committed the same crime, I'd be standing on top of the world today...

Ah ha-ha, chess. The ancient contest of wits. Two opponents: mano a mano. Braino a braino. And look: magnets for ease of travel. You could play chess on the moon.
