Adena's Addition

I added this custom sailor girl to Adena's arm today.  The portion of the tattoo below the girl and her scarf were tattooed by another artist.  I designed the girl to fit in with the existing tattoo and also re-tattooed and improved upon the work that had been done by the other artist; it was definitely inferior work and the tattoo artist is now living outside of the area, otherwise I would have had a different plan of attack.  Tattooing over and re-doing other tattoo artists work is something I consider on a case by case basis, in an effort to maintain many the ethics of tattooing that I find important, (and sadly lacking) to the industry.
