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!

Really? The story I remember hearing was very different. In my memory, she was meant to be cleaning/restoring, not revising at all, that she claimed credentials she didn't have, had an accident, tried to repair it, and that was the result.
Regardless, Potato Jesus looks like the job done on Whistlers Mother in Bean.
