New to the forum and wondering how large I need to make a specific design (attached)

[TooManyTimeZones]

Hi everyone,  I'm celebrating my 70th birthday later this month with my first tattoo and I'm curious whether the design is too detailed to hold up over time (10-15 years...I'm trying to be optimistic 😃).  Right now, the one I am trying out using temporary tattoo paper looks good at about 6" long on my forearm.  But I'd like your feedback on how large it will actually need to be to hold up over the next (hopefully) 15 years.  I welcome any advise or comments.

Thin lines on thin old skin are prone to blow out and unlikely to holdup well. If you go ahead anyway, get the best Tattooer you can find because with all those thin straight lines, there is no room for error.

I don't know how well that will hold up, especially if you don't find an artist that has serious skills. I would try to make that less ... busy? There's just too much happening. Way too much.
