once it's healed, try coloring it in with a marker and see if you dig it. if you dig it enough to make it permanent, make an appointment and go for it.
so me and my wife met with Oliver at the Feather Falls Tattoo expo and I got the horseshoe on my left knee ditch and she got the turtle on her left leg to go with a mermaid and octopus that he did a couple years ago.
I have an appointment next month with didac (@didactattoo on ig) for a big black panther covered in red hearts. I am so excited! It is going to be my biggest piece so far (about 35 cm)
Let's play this through. Your artist tattoos you while sick. Your work looks subpar. You get sick. The name of this post would have been "My tattoo looks horrible because my artis was sick...why didn't they just cancel! I have this crappy tattoo forever! Plus I had to take a week off work because I'm sick!"
Things happen. Hassling the artist isn't going to make him or her in a huge hurry to get back to you. Just leave it. Let them get well. There are lots of bugs going around at the moment.
Also, they did YOU a favor by not making you sick. So calm down.
