I don't THINK I'll actually do it. But you never know.

The artist who did my tattoo (Tarah Pennington) is very good with tiny. She figured out how to do the small (size of a half dollar coin) tat I wanted and still keep it clear by leaving off some of the details and changing some of the shading AND by adding a little bit of color to bring the whole thing to life.
She was very careful and took her time with a tiny needle to put fine details into what is a very simple-looking tattoo. And did a lot of neat things like leaving wee un-inked bits between the separate parts so it looks tidy and clear, yet when you look at it you don't notice them. (they were not in my original picture I brought in, she did that herself when she drew it for me)
Tiny is cheap, too. $60 for mine.
