While I would be less likely to go after a rookie's job, in a case where we are talking about someone who probably wouldn't know anything at all about kanji beyond the shop's flash and may not have had much experience dealing with customers wanting custom work, I would be willing to let them correct their error. If it were a seasoned artist, not acknowledging their lack of expertise with kanji and discouraging the customer from a possible mistake is totally unprofessional and inexcuseable.
Perhaps I am a bit more willing to factor in the artist's circumstances because I don't cut any slack for someone who walks into a tattoo shop and doesn't know EXACTLY what the hell they are putting on their body before the needle is even inked. The volume of tats that are done because of a whim and/or without the bearer having a clue to its full meaning (not the always just the current interpretation) is obscene.
