I strongly agree with putting it where you can see it, I have a special one on my back, but I never get to see it, except in front of a mirror. My one on my ankle however, I love dearly and love just getting glimpses of now and then throughout my day.
My sister got one on the inside of her wrist, which I was horrified about, but... really, I've grown to really like it there, and she says she's gotten endless compliments on it as well. She does have large bracelets and such to cover it if necessary, but rarely does.
Pain-wise, I will say, that is what deterred me for far too long. And, yes, it was painful, I have a woefully low tolerance for pain, but I could handle it, so really anyone can! I had two really great artists that were really sensitive to my sensitivity and took it slow when needed, quick when needed, and gave me breaks if needed.
Overall, I adore the design you've discovered, I think it would translate beautifully as a tattoo. Due to the detail, I don't know how small you could go, but any good tattoo artist will be really upfront with you regarding what will work well and what won't.
