Looking for advice on elbow tattoo

[Loveitwhentheyrun]

Would appreciate any help I can get. I have 12 traditional tattoos on my arm and have been trying to think of a filler tat to go on my elbow. My artist tells me he doesn’t like doing them because they usually don’t heal well and it has to be a design that will work. But when I asked him what designs will work he kind of shrugged his shoulders. What designs do you guys think would fit well here?

Go somewhere else! I have both elbows done. He just doesn't like doing them/isn't very good at them.

ya well,IMO he is full of shit,  both my elbows are done,like 15 & 18 years ago,with no touch ups on either and they still  look great !   and the same with both my knees ! they look just as good as any of the many other tattoos I have.

I agree with @oboogie ,

go somewhere else.

Yep. Elbows are not easy to do, so actually in one sense your current artist is doing you a favor by not attempting to do something he/she isn't comfortable with. 

Any pattern or flower would sit nicely behind that knife handle (?) and ribbon.
