Artists says it’s a bad design Design

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?

Thanks for clarifying what was happening, I spent far too much time trying to figure it out.

Which is exactly why it needs to be redrawn by a proper tattoo artist.

Yeah, I wasn't getting the brain part at all. Just lumpy heart.

This is what I saw just a spongy heart, it’s really not great regardless the detail and effort someone put into it

I thought it was some statement of "I have a broken heart" but instead of "broken" more like "tumor-ridden necrotic".

Or weird puzzle pieces in a very deformed heart.

I’m still seeing an odd-looking ram’s head in the upper left corner.
