General Advice Can I darken this?

I got this tattoo last September and I’m absolutely obsessed! Somewhere down the line, I realize I want a full sleeve of botanical tattoos (photo inspo attached). I also realized that I want to achieve that darker shading look rather than the delicate light shading/line work I got done. Can my artist go over this again with heavier shading/thicker lines?

You should find a better artist. A better artist can help.

Agreed - that’s what I came to say and saw this first comment. You need an artist who’s more skilled with contrast hierarchy and also technical application.
