4 weeks ago I went to get a cover up job on an old crappy tattoo. The artist did a great job, or at least I think so, and drew a really good snake in black outline with black shading. It pretty much covered up or hid the old tattoo and quite honestly I really liked it as it was. He told me to come back though for some more shading and detail, that was about 36 hours ago. When I went back he said he wanted to add some color. I was hesitant because I really am more of a black/grey guy, however seeing how he is the artist I decided to let him do what was in his “vision.” Well, the picture below is of the final piece. He colored in the snake with a earthy yellow color. I really have mixed feelings about it, I really liked it black and grey and now I don’t know what to make of it. It reminds me of one of those nasty yellowish bruises. I have not spoken to him about it, he was so damn happy of how it turned out, I didn’t want to show my disappointment. Am I screwed with a big yellow tattoo now? Is there any long shot to get the black/grey tattoo I wanted. What do you all think of it? Thanks.

Oops, I’m a newbie so can’t post images yet, I will post as soon as allowed.
