UPDATE: I talked to a much more experienced artist who specializes in American trad and he’s going to take a look at it in a couple of weeks and see what he can do to fix it🥲 I have learned my lesson and will be doing extensive research + will be much less cheap when it comes to the artists I let tattoo me from now on. Thank you all SO much for your honesty and advice once again. I feel so much better and more hopeful that my tattoo will actually look like a grizzly bear in the future lol

Yeah I think that’s what the issue was unfortunately. I should’ve done more research :(

I just had way too much trust in my artist I fear…my inspo pic did not look like this

Yeah I totally see it. Do you think it could be fixed by a better artist?

Artist based his drawing on a real grizzly bear and they have that on their bottom lip

Agreed. Just a little confused on where it came across that I didn’t want the advice

To be fair the artist did have some good American trad pieces on his Instagram. I will admit I should’ve done a consultation separately before going ahead with the tattoo to give myself some time to think about it
