Hello
in Initiation
looks like a solid shop!
-
I know it's not a case of thick ink.
Aside from that, you're right - I don't know.

Hello
in Initiation
Welcome! Where are you working?

One of the good points about saniderm is covering the wound while it is still fresh and CLEAN. I don't know anyone who has put it on after 2-3 days but if you trap ANY dirt or bacteria under it you are literally laying an infection nest. I wouldn't do it.
Not sure where on your body the tattoo is, and 3 days into healing it shouldn't really still be oozing - but possibly cover it with a very clean t-shirt or similar and if it's still stuck to that in the morning then use warm water to disengage and then gently clean with antibacterial soap.

Might work. Would depend on the artist, of course. The branch couldn't be too simple or it'll just become an unknown floating object.

Indeed. In my eyes there nothing "too feminine" about a commemorative tattoo for a female subject.

Have not.
Is this being done in a licensed shop?

Yes. Sorry about your brother.
The tattoo is going to remind you of him regardless of what image you ultimately settle on, so the subject matter isn't really that important to the reasoning.
In the US, dreamcatchers have reached a cliche status. Not sure how they are viewed in the tattoo world in Slovenia. In my mind a lizard is a way more interesting image - but this isn't my tattoo, either.
Your emphasis should be picking the right artist. There are numerous threads here that go over the do's and don'ts on that subject. Check them out and post us a link to the tattooist you intend to go with.

looking forward to seeing this!

Absolutely. That's precisely what the consult is for. You bring your needs and desires to the table (including references like the above, along with potential images you'd like reproduced) and the two of you discuss the possibilities. Diplomatically describe what you prefer out of his general body of work.
That being said - the lighter your tattoo starts out the even lighter it's going to be years from now. Contrast now will show image definition much better as the tattoo ages.

In no picture do i see poor linework or poor application, its the style he does in most of his pictures not being what I want, or in some the style in his black and grey come out very dark (I like a more lighter black and grey).
Cool. Let's see a link to his portfolio!

my initial question would be = are the other images "bad" because of subject matter, style or execution? Lots of artists work in more than 1 style - that's versatility. Subject matter is most often up to the canvas. If the other photos show poor application, poor linework or poor artistic choices then you'd be taking a huge gamble that this person is going to show up just the way you want them to on the day you're sitting in front of them. Some dirtbags even put other artist's work in their own portfolios. Consistency is very important.
Is my tattoo scarring? Should I be worried?

It takes at least 3-4 weeks for most tattoos to heal and for you to see what you've really got. As long as those circled spots don't get hot with inflamed skin you should be ok. They might just be where the scab got knocked off or something. Aside from that, you're just going to have to be patient and let it finish healing.
