Thanks ladies, it turned out exactly what I would draw if I were an artist. I loved the location of the tattoo because I could watch him work. You could just see the wheels turning in his brain as he thought how to do the shading to get the starburst from the darker purple and color right. The first artist I talked to when I arrived couldn't figure out how to get the starburst look, the one I worked with nailed it.

The tattoo artist said no problem to ride, hike, play as I normally do. He said he sees more issues with people covering them too much and the scab loosening up. I will probably still cover it for biking for keeping it clean reasons. He also said his experience is the arms tend to heal pretty fast compared to areas that are covered. I am really fair so sunscreen is never a question for me!
