That is an older flower than most I’ve seen. It has already been pollinated and is now on it’s way to produce seeds.
Rather than mess with the flower you have, add another one in this stage of life.
Fuck! Add several!

Considering that, actually! 🙂

If such details are important to you, you should make sure to tell your artist. It’s art – such details don’t matter to everyone.
Not just with this piece, but in the future as well. I didn’t get that that is what you were wanting to add.. Didn’t you check out the stencil before it being tattooed?
A cover-up or add-on of that would be rather obvious, yes.

I did take a look at the stencil after the artist transferred it onto my skin… but because of the placement I had to look in a mirror and didn’t get a close look at the details. I do still love my lotus even if it isn’t 100% perfect, but I definitely know now to look REALLY closely and make sure everything is exactly as it should be for my next tattoo. Thanks for the input.
