I only try and let them understand what they're getting into. Like.. noobs who want their first tattoo to be something giant on their ribs.. or something like that.

Well.. I want to everntually get some kind of skeleton.. or skull as a reminder that death is iminant. I want something somewhat medival.. like from an etching of the 14-16th centuries. I don't really see it as morbid.. just.. the way I see things. But.. people get them for all kinds of reasons. This one chick wanted a skull on her ribs to be "bad ass" Bitch wouldn't stop moving, and actually stopped me before the outline was even done. She's gonna walk around with that nasty thing for the rest of her life now.

It depends, honestly. Skin type and location factor into it. (How easy an area is to stretch) If it's a large area of black you would just use the biggest mag available which I'm pretty sure is a 14. It pretty much boils down to what the artist thinks they can accomplish in a certain amount of time.
