My 1st tattoo, it’s going to cover my shoulder and wrap around my arm. So far I dig it

Pete Farrell from Electric city

Very nice! Who did it?

In general you are right, in this case though, are you really arguing that it's the client's responsibility to tell the artist that they want it readable and don't mess up the negative space? Does anyone want a big bold tattoo that's unreadable with messed up negative space?

Please, allow me to give you an advice concerning not only tattoos but the whole range of human experiences: you can't think people will do something the way you would like them to do it, you must tell them how you want they to do it. We could discuss the possible faults of the artist for years, but that would not erase the fact that the tattoo will stay on your body and so it's for your own sake that you must tell the artist what you want and how you want it in the most detailed way.

Yes and No. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit. You've got a huge amount of solid black in there. I don't see how anyone could work with it. I'd be very leery about going to an artist that said they could.
