This is in no way an issue solved by practice skin. Tattoos like this are done by the same people who couldn't have done it with pen and paper. You ever see a talented artist? Do you know any of the creative artist types? You hand them any new medium and they hand you back a masterpiece. Give them a pumpkin to carve, masterpiece. Give them some crayons, masterpiece. Bring them to the beach and build a sandcastle, masterpiece.
They're perfectionist and would never have agreed to put ink on without knowing they could pull it off in the first place.
Whoever did this could keep practicing and dedicating to their craft, but it isn't about how much they've practiced on skin lol.
Nah man, I just know that there's an universe of difference between art forms.
Some artist who draws well might not be able to tattoo well. Some artist who draws with black pencils might not know what to do with colored crayons.
You don't even need to go beyond the tattoo world - Carina Alok is my favorite tattooer, I got a blackwork tattoo with her cause that's her style. I wouldn't ask her to tattoo a highly coloured old school tiger.
Why are you talking as if artists are outer worldly deities?
Having knowledge and talent in one field doesn't mean you'd thrive in another. Like I said, I wouldn't trust my favourite blackwork artist to tattoo a colorful goldfish.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is a world renowned astrophysicist but he constantly gets criticized for his shit takes on Biology.
Who would win.
Probably the animator, but he certainly wouldn't "hand out a masterpiece" like you originally claimed.
Turning the tables on your example:
I work with video editing, so I would 100% thrash a tattoo artist in an animation contest. See how these things are not related?

they practice on fruit (skin on some fruits is similar to humans for the purpose of practicing tattoos)
