PS:

Placement is also part of it, and important.

What's best as a placement can differ sometimes between the genders.

Really good designs like this can be good on the chest for a man, but clearly for a woman may work better on upper arm or shoulder. I'm sure you've been considering the various placement aspects, right?
My left arm...it is closest to my heart...lol.

Yes, it's a really good, womanly placement. While years ago it might not have been considered as such so much for women at least, upper arm is particularly suitable if the design - as your design option seem to be - have a certain width as well as length: on upper arm they are still well displayed rather than as curved as they would be on lower arm. When the artist measures your arm at the placement, this is exactly the sort of consideration involved.

I'm sure you will have already been considering this kind of aspect, right?

Great skill! and it's clear that it's a skill that she can adapt the skill as a skin inker as well.

When people have a flair for something, for them to go ahead and pursue what they are good at can often be no bad thing, right?
Agreed

These days it's something that couples often do. Kind of ink bonding, really.

I guess also the probable fact that you and your wife strongly prefer to be inkless fits a similar scenario.

Everyone is different, right?

Interesting video of an interview:


This tattooed Christian woman says she loves tattoos, and is definitely not ashamed of her tattoo, but now she feels she does not need a tattoo in order to be able to express her identity in Christ.

I find her comments thought-provoking and I can certainly see that from an identity perspective it's not necessary. I guess the aspect of whether pragmatically they certainly work as conversation-starters in witness is not really covered in the interview.

But I can follow her argument from her perspective.
