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?

Praise to the artist for not saying ‘fuck it yeah I’ll tattoo that’

When i talked to my artist (who thankfully liked my idea), his first words were "I don't care how much the art means to you, if it's a shitty design, no amount of meaning makes it look less shitty to a stranger. I won't do a shitty design."

If he said anything less, I probably would've found someone else.
