New Tattoo

So I'm out with a friend; and she decides that she needs to get a new tattoo.
We go to her favorite shop.
Great artist, clean facility.
She tells the artist that she wants a profile of Burt Reynolds on the inside of her thigh.
The artist pulls up a photograph and gets to work.
Three hours later he completes the tattoo.
My friend is livid!
She yells at the artist, "This looks Nothing like Burt Reynolds!"
She storms out of the shop.
After about two blocks I catch up to her.
We talk.
She calms down.
We head back to the shop to see the artist.
She apologizes for her actions.
Makes amends with the artist.
She says, "Can you please try one more time? On the other thigh. Please, Burt Reynolds."
The artist agrees.
He works for six hours this time.
He pays attention to every detail.
After the artist finishes, he feels like this is one for the portfolio, he wipes away the extra ink and cleans it up.
My friend reacts.
"You piece of %#*! artist! You call THIS Burt Reynolds?"
She gets up and leaves before the artist could blink an eye.
She runs down the street a few blocks.
She stops to cry.
She starts to walk again.
Going home would be the best thing to do right now.
She passes a homeless man on the way home.
Still angry she needs a second opinion.
She lifts her skirt and asks the man, "Do either of these tattoos look like Burt Reynolds to you?"
The man replies, "I don't know about the twins; but the one on the middle looks like Willie Nelson."
