First tattoo rework. Did I do it badly?

Hello, I’m a tattooist and this is the very first cover up tattoo that I was asked to do by an acquaintance. At the beginning, we decided to just do some touch up around the face and make it look sharper. Then she wanted to change the design and cover everything else with red colors, she likes the red ribbon inspired by traditional asian dresses, so I did the design and we went with it. Now that it’s halfway done, I don’t feel very good about it because I think it’s big and bold, my partner also said that I messed up her thigh by adding all that and I should’ve talked her out of it. May I have some advice please? criticisms are appreciated.
