hey dude , my suggestion is to look at the shape of your arm overall in a mirror for instance long and thin short and wide etc, then try to find a piece of art that compiments your body shape giving you your desired effect ie: tough, striking, cartton , taraditional etc also consider how the tatt you are planning now will blend into additional work you may want to get in the future.
email me if your feelin it and we'll talk more. ed

Nothing stupid about your question
When I had my full back done it took me a few months to draw it up and because it is all pretty much a woodlands scene my artist was really good about explaining to me that certain birds etc should be certain size otherwise they don't look right and I reckon he did a bloody good job and like bluntmonkey said you need to think about the blending in with whatever you may want to add in the furture
