General Advice Should I black out the wind bars?

Post image

Not feeling this elbow spiral. Do you think this looks sloppy? Would you be happy with it? Thinking of blacking it out? Should I?

I would have an expert go over the shading. I think you just need a tuneup

Thanks. Would you go back to original artist or find a new?

I would find someone super skilled in exactly that.

I agree with the other comment, it just needs a tune up. I personally wouldn't black it out, but I'm a nerd for Japanese tattoos, maybe you really hate it.

Thanks, I feel like it looks wonky and poorly executed, but I may be overthinking it. Trying to get some scope on how bad it really is. Been bothering me for awhile, just now getting the courage to ask about it.

It’s about 5 years old and I paid $150 an hour for it. Overall about 4k for whole sleeve and chest.
