To be slightly more helpful, I'll point out a couple of issues I ran into. Aside from the obvious of artists having different styles, which is obvious but trust me, you will see the difference. Instead of a sleeve, it will look patchy for lack of a better word. Not good or bad, but if you want a sleeve you probably are going for consistency.
Not all shops and artists use the same ink. There is a massive variety of inks out there and it will show. That lovely blue shade might not be able to be replicated by someone without the same ink; it's like Pantone to RGB. I wouldn't recommend switching artists without at least finding out about the ink. Again, my 2¢ based on personal experience.
