Will this work?

[InkCurious]

I need some input on a design my friend drew for me. I've been told by one reputable artist that the coloring makes it a bad choice for a tattoo (the colors would blur, I hear) and been told by another reputable artist that it would be fine and it was just the one artist being too lazy to put in the effort to do the design right.
I'm here for additional opinions.
Is the coloring fine, impossible, or needing adjustment?
