    I think I would have had the face facing forward . Looks clean though

    One of the golden rules of tattooing, always face things towards the body. Now this guy is looking at the back of her head for the rest of his life & won't be able to easily see her face which was the point of the tattoo in the first place.

    Definitely facing the wrong way. Even if the tattoo is done well our not, that just kills it, just to be honest

    The face is facing him when he is in prone position. It would be looking away if it were facing the other direction. It only looks odd because he is showing it with his arm up, making it face the ground. If you were behind the owner walking down the road, she would be looking AT him.

    No the picture is sideways and the face is facing his tricep. The hair is closest to his face. If you were walking behind him you would be getting stared at by his beautiful tattoo.

    Aside from it facing the wrong way because we have established this the only thing I can say is there needs to be something around the rose. Background, leaves, etc. Solid tattoo

    yeah, wrong way and needs some hard black behind it to bring it forward and there is only greywash and one color red in the rose. i recommend at least 3 reds and black and white. Also, another shade lighter on the face blended out to nothing would make it smoother. It looks peppered. May go away with the heal, but it's always good to over exaggerate it so when it heals it will have enough tones. I go over my bng blends like 10 times starting with light. seems to help me anyway. and you can't beat a 23 or 29 bugpin curved for supersmooth lights. just suggestions. we all tattoo differently. check out the carl grace videos on youtube. he explains it well.
