the inner circle too. it could of also been your stencil or the original drawing. was the original drawing straight? sometimes when putting them on if there is a little wrinkle or something like that it will distort the image a little. but ya over all it looks good

not bad...you hardline is a little shakey. i dont know what the orignal artwork looks like but always remeber your piece is only gonna look as good as the stencil.
there are some holdays in your green too...color is a bitch sometimes, remeber to work it slow. but dont over work the skin...it always better to hit it at a second sitting than to hurt the customer.
lastly on your outter ring at the bottom the lines get pretty close together between the two rectange pieces.. any tattoo is gonna spread over years, thats what ink does in the skin. a good rule of thumb is to keep about an 1/8 of negitive space between things to alow for this. that way they dont blur together after a few years

on the top of the star looks like a spot where you stopped or something some of the lines look uneven on the star the lettering looks funny looks kind of funky. shading looks good from what i can tell lines are a little shaky in spots

I hate sugar coating it. I like the criticism. On top of the star is not a spot. It's just where the client it bleeding a little. And the lettering is a font type called pirate something.
But I really do apretiate you pointing out whats wrong. Hell that why I posted the thing up there.
Any tips for making my work better?

It took about three hours because the guy needed a break ever 20min or so. That part really sucked.

I can see that maybe you did not use a stencil.....did ya free hand with skin pen?? I will be honest....It's a tad out of balance and the lines need ta get a bit more straight....but the design aint that bad...hope ya don't mind my input,the Hermit.

I dont mind at all. It just I used be be really about about whiping away my stencil. Ive got better at it though. I posted another pic in this post -->> http://www.supplytattoo.com/board/showthread.php?t=6652
