Need help here guys. I'm not saying "decide for me!" but maybe some input would help me make my decision in the future. Long post incoming, so get ready.

I've been wanting to start getting some arm tattoos which would eventually be a sleeve but I'm still unsure on the style since I like both of these so much, but I don't want to mix.

The one on the left is thick lined and "looks" like a tattoo if you know what I mean. It looks solid and is the traditional style, even from a distance you can kind of tell what's going on. I don't want any color so imagine it just in black. Problem is, I'm afraid I'll get tired of the style, plus there's not that much freedom of designs since it mainly sticks to traditional themes. Also, literally every lame hipster tumblr kid goes for this style thinking they're a sailor or some shit and I don't want to be associated with that.

The one on the right is really detailed and nice without being too obnoxious and thick lined. If you can think of anything you can pretty much get it done in this style. The thing I'm worried about with this is that it might look unimpressive and kind of dirty from a distance, and there's stories of these not aging well. Every pleb goes for this style and it's just not that flattering. At least in the UK, every dudebro goes for this trying to look like David Beckham or Justin Bieber or some fag, it's sort of become the "acceptable" generic tattoo style. I wouldn't go for religious themes, but the photo gives you an idea.

I know some of my points are stupid, but they matter to me. The main issue is just not knowing which style I want to go for. I've been thinking about it over a year so this isn't a sudden thing I want to do. I know that anything done by a good artist will look great. My gut feeling tells me the left one since it was my initial idea, but then I started seeing these amazing realistic pieces that completely make me doubt what I want now.
