First tattoo advice please!

Hey guys, looking to get my first tattoo and I like the look of this abstract venom artwork. Only thing I am not sure about is the face at the bottom of the design as I think when wearing a short sleeved t shirt this may look slightly odd especially if I have no other tattoos. Only a face peering out from under my sleeve may look slightly creepy. I am thinking of maybe adding to the design at the bottom to fill it out a bit more or maybe removing the face alltogether and replacing it with more of the abstract splats etc that can be seen in the rest of the tattoo? Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly apprectiated!

Wear sleeveless shirts.

Seriously, you're over thinking this. Get the tattoo you want and don't worry about the rest. Make sure you get referrals and see previous tattoos in the same style by the artist. Don't go to an "I can do every style" tattooer. NOBODY does every style well. Go to the people that specialize in the style you want.

Yep. You're going to need a high quality tattooist. Abstract pieces tend to become even more abstract 10-20 years down the road . . .

You are overthinking this so much. It almost makes me think you really shouldn't get a tattoo because worrying about what will show under your shirt sleeve is just super weird.
