What can I do to make this tattoo better

[Raymond Velasco]

I have this on my foot and I like it, but I want to do something with the shading that's the part I don't like. The shading around the owl is there to cover up something existing there already, any advice?

if the shading is there to cover something else up... is the shading preferable to whatever its covering? Not sure I have any answers for you, Looks like the artists went pretty hard on the edges of the owl. Maybe some color will make it pop some more, but I have a tattoo on my foot and it has faded a lot on its own and I never went back to it, I just don't think ink holds well on the foot IMHO. I'd leave it alone and move on.
