I got this piece done for my mother who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. My long term goal is to turn it into a half sleeve. The eagle is from my family coat of arms, and the ribbon is in support of the disease. I am seeking advice on how to cover up the background above the eagle, my artist had a vision for it but I do not like how it came out at all. I was thinking maybe cover it up with clouds or a sun, but I am really struggling to come up with ideas. Also,I would like to work with the ribbon, right now I feel as it looks incomplete. I was thinking of adding my mothers name to it, and possibly roses underneath to blend it into. This piece means a lot to me given the circumstances, so I really appreciate you taking the time to read and respond.
Thanks so much.

hi memorial is always an important tattoo n not always easy to hear critisism.i think it would help if u considered maybe a mountain range for the background as u could start quite dark behind the eagle i think would add more contrast. i would also consider making the ribbon into a river as part of the background and think about
having a new ribbon else where.ie below the piece with the roses u suggested making it more a half sleeve.
