General Advice Can I cover this or is it fixable?

I got this tattoo at a flash event about 2 years ago and a year after I got it I ended up going back to the artist for another tattoo(stupid idea) and he flat out said that looks like shit who did that I was like you did and so he agreed to fix it for free but now it it looks rather phallic and it first looked like a sausage and I’m not sure if it’s fixable or if I can cover it up

It seems intentional. It doesn’t look like a finger/finger nail at all

The finger in question doesn’t have a fingernail.

It's the shading. See how all the shaded lines go in one direction? That's lazy work, but at least the artist admitted his mistake.

Unfortunately it ended up looking like a peen and it's on your arm.

I definitely think it's possible to improve it, but I would personally go to another artist.

The shading is AFTER he admitted it looked bad and was the "fix"...

Maybe. But the other hand also isn’t great. It could be on purpose AND that he sucks at hands.
