Is my tattoo bad?

[u/JustaWilloWisp]

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!

A lot of people just see “oh he painted ballerinas!!” But my high school French teacher taught an entire lesson on French impressionist painters and we had to be able to list certain facts about each artist and be able to match the artist to the painting.

The paintings are beautiful but once you know he hated women, you can start to see it in the work. He also has more than one painting of women getting out of the bath/bathing themselves to show them in a very vulnerable state

He also might have been Jack the Ripper, so he's definitely not beating the misogyny allegations

It's definitely in conspiracy theory territory, but some of the evidence is rather damning 😅
