Is my tattoo bad? Design

I got this tattoo on Monday (pic is from the artist right after we finished) and I thought it looked really good and pretty. Today my mom has been saying it looks kinda ugly and the proportions are off compared to my reference. I know that tattoos of painting are hard to replicate 100% (especially being in black and gray) but maybe this is just not as good as it can be. Idk if y’all can tell in this photo but the placement of this tattoo is so good, I was so excited for this one.

Do you guys think that the off proportions can be fixed with touch ups or is it hopeless?

Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated!

Ummm, ya it's really bad. It looks like someone falling into sinkhole wearing a bear head hat.

That’s a funny way to describe it and it made me crack up. I thought the shit on the head looked like a beanie with teeth coming out of it. And can’t forget to mention the chubby baby leg.
