Part one of reworking this thing. Gonna be a long ride.

This is why you NEVER draw a stencil from a picture of an existing tattoo, even if the client "wants the exact same thing" - the image will be distorted.

The tattoo ref:

If they are determined to replicate the design (or in this case, I am reworking it to correction), you need to look for the original reference image used; using the TATTOO reference image is not good enough, not only because of distortions but also the artist that did the tattoo might have made some choices (changes/simplifications) that you would not. A lot of the widely-circulated images of existing tattoos that folks bring in are decent, but sourced from exactly one original picture that you can track down with a little work. With AI junk clogging things up, it took me a bit longer than it should have, but I did eventually find it:

THIS is what you need to make your stencil from. You can see quite a few differences in accuracy from this and the tattoo reference, including some weirdness in eyes that I would have definitely fixed... though, in my case, I'll just be using this photo as a reference to rework what I can into better anatomy.

Okay, I'm angry on behalf of the public on this one.

Here's some examples of the "most experienced artist" currently at the shop I left a little over a year ago...

Supposedly this person has been in the industry over 20 years, and "can do any style". I'm struggling to find a decent grasp of the basics among these 3, and one of these clients approached us to fix their work.

I'm not kidding when I say that the newest person tattooing there now seems like the most skilled - they at least are sticking to simple stuff they can handle.

And the shop's website hasn't been updated, so their list of artists is exclusively people that no longer work there.
