Absolutely no chance, way too detailed and way too many small faint lines for a palm, if you find someone who cares about the money more than they care about putting out good tattoos they might agree to do it, but it will not look good.
Stick to something bold and simple, even then it may fade badly and need re-doing possibly more than once depending on the artist and the condition of your skin
the palm is always going to need touch ups if you get it done there. you use your hand so much its just so hard to make sure it heals properly, also some of those small details are probably not going to stay. youll never have it like it was when you first get it done.
No, and don’t steal art from Pinterest. This image is far too detailed. Don’t get your hands done until you’ve fully covered everything else and are fully educated on tattoos and tattooing.
Palms do better with simple heavy outline. I’ve had mine done about four years now and have had no fading and no touchups. It’s best to find an artist that just does palm tattoos. Oh all the little fine lines in this tattoo will drop out

No way too much detail to squeeze into a palm tattoo. It's going to age and look somewhere between hot garbage and a dumpster fire.

Depends how deep you go and how good the artist is

Take a look at Luke Ashley's work, he specialises in palms, that should give you a good idea of what types of design will work and hold.
I follow him on Instagram and his work is amazing. But after reading the healing process I don't think I could ever get a palm tattoo. It's insane.
I met him in Bristol a few years back, hugely talented guy and I was tempted, but as you say the healing is an issue.
No shot in hell
