Working with your tattooist is always important, They should listen to what you want and you should listen to their advice as they should know what will and wont work and the limit of their abilities. What you want is far beyond your tattooists abilities and he is very lazy he spent most of the time on the face of the compass and then quickly threw in some shit in the background.
Choosing a tattooist is the most important part of getting a tattoo. Don’t choose a tattooist because location of shop, the shop, a buddy had a awesome tattoo done at that shop(different tattooist) or that you met the guy and you liked him/her. Only pick a tattooist based on the quality of work you are hiring them for a piece of art not to be your buddy. Post up a link to the portfolio of the other tattooists you are going to talk to. Where are you located we can help you find a great tattooist.
