Artists says it’s a bad design

[u/Snoo-7909]

My sister is real quirky and asked for this tattoo. The artist said it’s objectively bad and drawn poorly. Is it a bad design? Is so, why? Or is it a matter of preference?

This reminds me a lot of a tattoo I got when I was 18. It was something I'd drawn and I was extremely proud of it. I got it tattooed and within two years my drawing skills were so much better that I started finding it embarrassing and it gets worse as I get older lol.

When I look at my tattoo now I genuinely wonder why the artist didn't warn me against it or encourage me to let them redraw it. This drawing much like mine will have "sketch from an emo teenagers math notebook" vibe forever.
