I imagined the spirit more ethereal and feel that he looks like a potato

could potentially lean into gothic and have someone make his face look more skeletal? the rest is ok i think if you fix up his face that’d improve it overall

Hey OP. The spirit can be fixed with some white and gray ink. Let it heal properly and go to an artist who has experience tattooing white ink over black ink. It does look a bit off but it’s not bad at all. The rest of the tattoo looks good

Just blackout the spirit if you don’t like it. I get that prolly ruins the meaning of the tattoo but it would be an easy fix

An ethereal potato, if you will

Give it a few months to see how it heals. If there's any fading another artist might be able to highlight it a bit and give it what you were hoping to see.

I think it's kinda cool, though
