I just think that despite the obviously abstract style of the painting, the artist was lacking the ability to reproduce details that should and could have been reproduced.
The blue mountains in the background, for instance, are bland and lacking definition.

The style is unique, the tattoo is unique, and you should wear it proudly. I just don’t feel it is as good as it could have been, assuming of course that you wanted the painting as faithfully reproduced as possible.

Thank you. This is what I was looking for. I’m trying to learn more about this medium so that I can know what to look for in the future. Not being an artist myself it’s hard for me to pick these things up on my own but I’m trying to learn. Honestly I’m happy that I finally got it done and out of the way because that was my biggest hurdle, even if it wasn’t perfect. I have a feeling that this will be one of many and I know what to look for now. It could have been worse I guess.

I think it has the same spirit as the original and if you weren’t looking for photorealistic copy then I think its fine.
There’s not a whole lot to judge it off of since flaws that we look for don’t apply to abstract work. The shading could be a little better but once it heals u up it will probably blend out a bit. And since the original art was on white background and the tattoo uses skin tone background it hard to compare the two.
This is a tough one. Is it a man wearing a backpack?

I hate to say this cause its usually associated with bad tattoos (which I don’t think this is)
As long as you like it…

Yea it’s a man with a backpack and climbing harness. Actually a picture I took of my friend on one of our trips which he then turned into the painting. Would it have been possible for a photo realistic copy in this medium? I know it’s not a traditional style and it was hard to find anyone, even online, who had something similar in a portfolio to get an idea.

Also, this was immediately after the tattoo was done and I was told it will look different once healed, would that make any difference?

I don’t think it’s quite as good, but I wasn’t expecting an exact representation, I didn’t even think one would be possible. I wish I had found these forums before, but I’m sure thousands of people have said that. I loved the original, and I was focused more on finding an artist who had done similar work in a tattoo than looking at their tattoo specific abilities which I guess was my biggest mistake.
For my next one I really wanted to get something similar to this Dan Morris Rain City Tattoo Manchester world map on forearm | Flickr – Photo Sharing! although on the top of my feet and with a compass as well. Do you think that would be up reeds alley?

Care to elaborate as to why? Since this was my first one I’m not entirely sure what to look for. I guess I’ll have to find another artist for my second although the choices are limited up here in alaska
