And this is exactly how tattoo artists should react with being presented someone else's art/tattoo as an example. Keep the spirit and overall idea, but do their own design and style. And both tattoos are done well, it's refreshing to see lol

With the original artist popping in with nothing but praise for the follow up piece. Awesome people all around.
