It has some potential if color is to be added. I think every apprentice has to start somewhere. When you say apprentice do you mean they are at a reputable shop going through the day to day of learning to tattoo? Or is someone showing them just enough to get started. I ask because the latter of the two may not help them down the road.

Since it is a memorial tattoo maybe you can incorporate some things that your cousin enjoyed in life. Did you share anything in life that you both enjoyed? There are so many different avenues of approach you could take. Perhaps if you could provide some more detail as to your cousins life we could assist you with some information. Let us know.
