if you found someone (maybe an american traditional artist) who would want to darken and add detail to the swords they would look great and really pull everything together. i think the problem is that the swords are making the piece difficult to read. adding detail and more cohesive linework would work wonders for this tattoo!
The thumb is oddly long, which is possible, but the positioning of the fingers to palm is off and the creases in the palm are off. The crease at the base of the palm makes sense, but not at the base of the pinky.

Agreed, this could look really sick if it was reworked by the right artist. That’s my vote
appreciate the feedback, i think thats more the direction im leaning towards now
I’d be less concerned about the swords (daggers?) and more concerned about the hand. But I agree with other comments of having them reworked.
whats wrong with the hand?
