I'm looking to get my first tattoo, and the artist I'm talking to said this design is too detailed for a forearm tattoo. The examples she gave for forearm designs were SUPER simplistic. Before calling bullshit and looking for another artist, I wanted some takes from artists and anyone with enough experience getting tattoos: Am I wrong in thinking this is doable as-is or with minor modifications (I even went as far to draw a sketch with less than HALF this level of detail which I can post as a reply along with her examples if that helps, she said that was still too much detail), or do I really need to go low-detail or move the tattoo to a completely different spot?
Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to reply.
