Recommendations for thigh tattoo?

So on the 6th I'm getting a thigh tattoo, it's only mine work with minimal shading (no color at all not a fan). It will be my second tattoo my first was on my wrist/forearm and I did that at the end of summer so I just wore short sleeves so the tattoo could heal. However, it's now winter in New England where is going to be freezing and snowy. Any recommendations as to what I should wear to the appointment for pants? Also how much does it hurt. It's the outside front of my thigh

No pants. My friend recently got a thigh tattoo, and the artist said no pants or tight clothing touching the tattoo for the first week and a half. This also includes leggings.
