I took two separate 1-yr breaks in my 20s, and I can't say it has had any negative impact career-wise (some might view fewer years of work experience as a negative, but strictly speaking it hasn't made getting other jobs more difficult for me). If you have a solid skill set / body of work to share and speak about, and great recommendations from previous co-workers then I would say do what feels right to you.
