I see what you mean. This will be one of a few tattoos I will be likely to get in my lifetime, so I’m not so worried about running out of room. As for the longevity, and whether I’ll feel the same in 30 years, I think I’ll be fine. I don’t know if you know what it is, but it’s a Buddhist symbol (called the Dharmachakra). Essentially it is a guide to living. Each of the spokes represent a different aspect (View, Intention, Speech, Action, Livilihood, Effort, Mindfulness, Concentration), which will be the same throughout my lifetime.
I do appreciate you taking the time to share your opinions, thanks very much! I think I will consider going bigger than I originally planned.
