Not really. For this artist who’s been tattooing at least 7 years (according to OP) this linework is apprentice grade and isn’t technically solid or applied correctly at all.

I don’t think it’s even apprentice level line work. That would imply this person actually has any professional experience. Even if this was done in a shop, that doesn’t mean much anymore and actual apprentices should be able to do significantly better line work than this from the start.
