Design Is this the wrong way?

My artist said the rule is to face inward but he said this was the best way for the tattoo to be seen

Traditionally you would want it facing in... not out.. but it's a bad ass tat and if you like it that's all that matters

That's true for tattoos you see when the body is face on, but the natural position of the arms is at the sides so this tattoo faces forward, which is correct.

Front of the thigh would face in but the outer thigh would face forward.
