I'm really glad this guy got his tattoo fixed and that the artist did it for free. The new version looks pretty damn good, especially if you consider that it is a cover-up of a really crappy one.
Although, this really shows you that you NEED to research your artist before entrusting them with permanent body art. Some tattoo artists are better at certain things than others. Portraits are a very specific type of tattoo art and I bet the first artist just wasn't good at that. How the first artist could have even felt comfortable with letting the guy leave the shop in the first place is beyond me...
