It sounds as if getting the full body suit in Japan, even using traditional methods could be quite quick in your case.
You seem to have a lot of coverage already!
This afternoon I interrogated my daughter who started doing her thesis on tattoos before changing theme, what she said was that one of the distinguishing features of traditional Japanese tattoos is that the design was planned as a whole from the outset and that the blank spaces were as important as the tattooed. One of the problems I would have is all the different styles coming together in a pleasing whole.
Another concern as a woman is the changing fashions in tattooing, some are now looking very dated. A while back it was all pseudo japanese chap books, then black work, celtic, tribal etc. all of which make picking an evening dress very hard, (I have been through this very recently with my kid and the options are really cover up or plain black), Try making a heavilly tattooed female look elegant in formal clothes, a mother's nightmare! You do not want to get these details wrong in Milan!
I'm going away for a few days break to laze on a beach. I'm looking forward to seeing how this thread pans out when I get back.
