I dunno what your pain tolerance is - if it's high, then never mind! If it's not, then possibly think about it as your second?
I don't think the griever symbol would necessarily have to be really large. It couldn't be tiny like the star behind my sister's ear mind you, but it shouldn't have to be exactly huge. How much it hurt would depend as much on where they put it as the size and how filled in it is. To be honest though, the outline hurts more than colouring it in my experience.
