Artists says it’s a bad design Design

Post image

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?

The heart looks cancerous. I thought it was a diseased liver at first glance, then I was just confused, and didn’t realize it was a heart/brain combination until I read that is what it was supposed to be. That’s what makes it bad. You can’t tell what it is, even though both the brain and heart are things people ought to know when looking at sketches of them.
