How should I handle this 12 year old heart with my new half sleeve?
We had planned to touch up the heart in the same style as the sleeve, but ran out of time. (14ish hours in 2 back to back sessions) I'm wondering if it still makes sense to go back to the half sleeve artist to finish this or just leave it.
I'm also not sure what to do with the remnants of the blue halo. I envisioned them being completely covered with the red wrought iron work, but I didnt effectively communicate that with my artist. Is there anything I can do above the heart or would that create clutter or heaviness up top? I liked the idea of open space, but to me it feels a bit forced around the older tattoo.
In general, I'm very pleased with how it turned out, but I'm feeling like I didn't think this out all the way through and appreciate any feedback.
