So I fell in love with two different artists work.

The first one has a very traditional Kakau type of Polynesian flow, with minimal shading. It looks more traditional if anything. Here's a link.

The other tattoo artist I'm really digging has a more contemporary look, lots of shading and likes to blend many Polynesian motifs together. Here's a link to his work.

My problem is that I already have a half sleeve sleeve done by the first artist. But I'm wanting to get the second artists work done on the second arm. I'm wondering if getting two different styles on different arms look bad, even though they're both Polynesian based. Is it less aesthetically pleasing? Or should I just stick with one artist for both arms?

Go with the second one. Mix it up no need to have a relationship with a tattooist. they are just someone you hire to do work.

Mixing styles is no big deal
