What is it and why should we care? What does this symbol actually mean to you?
If you don't have any good answers to these questions, don't get a tattoo.

Sit on it for a few years. Tattoos last a lifetime.

if it means enough to have it on you for the rest of your life, go for it.

Also, one thing to consider before getting a tattoo on the middle of your back : you cannot care for it yourself. You will need someone to clean it and apply ointment on it at least 2 times a day. For 10 to 15 days. You cannot expose a healing tattoo to hot water much : it makes the healing skin roll off, taking away the ink with it. That makes showering quite the daunting task. Usually, for all those reasons, back tattoos need many touch ups, and you have to wait a few months between those. And go through the healing process every time. Basically, a 2 year long project...and after 4-5 year tattoos need touch-ups again. That's why I never got back tattoos.

Other things to consider : you'll be staining every t-shirt you'll be wearing for the first 3 to 5 days. And when you'll take them off it will hurt like a bitch. Usually you're not supposed to cover tattoos with any sort of clothing, if you want it to heal nice, and they need to always be covered in ointment. You'll be living with greasy shirts glued to your back for 2 weeks. And you WILL need touch-us, believe me.
All that from a girl who managed to heal all of her tattoos real nice while her tattoo-artist would say "there's no way tattoos on your feet/ between fingers will stick"

It's a cool design. It seems kind of tall/narrow to have on your back... What does it mean? Will this be your first tattoo? Definitely listen to George's advice. She knows what she's talking about.

I concur with this advice. In general, if someone asks a specific question when im talking to them about a tattoo like "which shade of brown will make these green leaves stand out more?" then thats great but the kind of "should I get this tattoo?" or "what do you think of this design?" style questions usually indicate the customer needs to go home and think about the design for a bit longer. Basically, if you need other peoples opinion on whether to get a given design or not, you probably would be better advised not to get it until you are sure. Any good artist should tell you the same.
