You want Trevor McStay. Really.

I've never tattooed anyone, but I don't see how you're skin will stretch out and make that shading better. It's not blended well at all. I wouldn't go back to the original tattooer.

To be honest...I am tired of hand holding you through this dragon. You are a big boy, use your judgement and make a decision. We can't decide for you and a tattooer shouldn't decide for you. You got a tattoo that you felt like wasn't what you wanted right? Go to the fricking person who made the tattoo and talk to them for eff's sake.

@Caine22 Look up pictures of dragons done by good artists - Horiyoshi 3, Shige, Leu, Mick...many more...
Determine what you like and take examples to your tattooer. He should be able to help from there. If he or she needs more than that, chances are you have the wrong artist for the job. Just my opinion...color can be very subjective and can be limited to what has already been done to the piece. (You likely won't be getting very vibrant colors in areas already shaded dark) However, an artist with experience doing this style will likely have a few classic color schemes that would work.

Thanks mate! Ill look up unto that.
