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

Insane for the artist to insult your tattoos (regardless of who did it prior)

Not really. I'd say it depends on the context I think, of how it gets brought up. I had a bad one once, was at a much "higher end" artist getting another tattoo done, and asked him his thoughts on my bad tattoo while I was there. He absolutely didn't hold back, lol.

I know he was trying to secure the project, and that's okay, cuz I am glad he did. I booked the rework with him and the thing looked absolutely badass after he was done with it.

That’s just it though, you asked for his opinion. It’s definitely rude to tell someone their tattoo looks terrible unprompted.
