Long story short, I have a bird tattoo that is carrying some baby breath flowers. I always liked the bird, but the flowers felt too simplistic and kinda looked like lollipops. I asked someone to do a coverup of the baby's breath and incorporate an additional flower at the top of my wrist. They reassured me that they were comfortable with cover ups.

  
The result is this: a flower near my wrist that faded so much it somehow looks older than the original tattoo, plus a really, really bad attempt at cover up. You can clearly see the original tattoo underneath and it just looks like a mistake. The artist kept telling me they were going to incorporate it together freehand and never did. This is the result and I hate it.

  
I've been told to go to the original cover-up artist and ask her to do a touch up and try to incorporate the flowers better, but honestly my trust is a bit broken and I don't want to pay more just to have the thing I originally wanted done correctly.

  
Do you think there's room to redeem this with an additional cover up? I just want some nice floral work on my wrist. I'd prefer more fine line or x-ray style; probably not possible anymore with the tattoo underneath. If anyone feels like drawing over it, be my guest. It would help me a lot.

Given that it's still kind of lightweight though, I'm hoping this can be fixed up rather than having to resort to laser. Thanks!
