it hurts the least where you want it the most.

it doesn't hurt anywhere near like you think its gonna. its annoying. its not sheer pain. i mean shit ive done 6 hour sessions with no problem. i was tired, thats about it.
a little tatt like that (it sounds like you're going to get it done small which you will regret) might take less than an hour and wont hurt much at all. get it bigger than you plan. its gonna be illegible otherwise and will end up looking like you got some bike chain grease on your leg or something. alway go bigger. BIGGER.

Shave your own leg ahead of time, dry shave and tattoo feels very bad to me.
Don't go small. I have a quilt for an upper arm that proves it. Cover your entire calf. Do it. Trust me. The money will be well worth it in the end.

The shaving issue isn't a problem for everyone, but when it is it sucks. You can feel the heat radiate from my leg if I have the artist shave it and then tattoo. And hell, you're saving the artist time so he can get down to business.
Seriously consider going bigger, after fifteen years you'll be able to see the detail.
