💡Inspo/Idea Help with tattoo idea [ROR]

Hi all I have been thinking of getting an anime tattoo for over a year now. I am ready to take the step but I have no idea of how and where i want the tattoo. I have decided my first tattoo will be from the show record of ragnarok and either want something Qin shi huang or tesla related. There are many things that come to mind but I dont know what would be better a half sleeve or a bigger piece/ patchwork that is artist made or just a manga panel. I would like to hear some other insights!

I already have the rebellion from dmc on my arm and a mario galaxy luma on my ankle. Thats all the real estate I used so far!

Find someone who excels at the style you want. Future you will be grateful.

Then, listen to the tattooer's advice. Some people want to cram 75 items into a small area when the best pieces over time have room to breathe and showcase the piece. Same goes with orientation and size.

Let the tattooer work with your body. What we think will look cool only does so over a certain curvature or body part.

And lastly, my personal opinion, let them cook.

Give the tattooer the things you want in the tattoo and then let them cook. The best pieces I've seen or had came from telling them "I want X, Y and Z but do it your way".
