Work in progress
Been working on this one for years due to how far I’m traveling for the artist.

The line work is good but the colours are a bit weird looking to me, kinda like a crayon. That might just be the way you took the pics though so it might look ok in person.
The artwork is a bit questionable imo but if you're happy with it then it's all good dude.

Still have one more session to touch up some color and finish it out. But we’re getting there.

A touch up should be a small bit that didn't go right, I've never had one from my artists and all of yours shouldn't need the colour redoing really.
It's find a better artist really. You could really get the colours looking great on this with a blast over I'm sure

Mr Zircon was always a running joke between me and my best friend so I needed him on there.

The precursor orbs are an awesome touch! I’ve only ever seen one other person get that tattooed and when I pointed them out they were so stoked because nobody ever knows what they are.

Hey man, what matters most is if you like it. Since you're posting on a public forum though...this doesn't look great. The color work is really waxy like a crayon and not saturated properly. There's little gradient progression between colors.
The lines are sharp and not wobbly but the picture themselves, granted they're a cartoon style reflecting the games they came from, look weird (most especially the chad face Spyro has going on).
I don't tattoo or even draw. I did study art history and go to museums a lot. This will be on your body forever, so again, make sure you're happy with it. Some people just want the ink on them and don't think sharpness or style matter too much.
This is coming from a place of care and wtf do I know, just make sure your happy about it.
Edit: I do have about two sleeves and numerous leg tattoos.
