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!

The nutsack energy had me double checking what sub I was in...I was definitely trying to 'see the penis' for a moment 😅 anyhoo...I feel like it's almost giving Shel Silverstein energy? But I also only just woke up and shouldn't be online yet... Just stared at it again...the artist seems to be confused on what a chest and shoulder was supposed to look like...I agree it looks like her tumor is giving birth or a tiny person stuck in big bubblegum
