THE COLOR

The color scheme of the middle flower and the lower flower are opposite (Pink out Orange in /Pink in Orange Out), which throws off the consistency of the design color scheme. The brain expects consistency, especially with this style of design. Three flower of the same type should be the same color scheme unless quite different in the spectrum (Blue,Purple).
Your color will appear richer if one uses a three color tone change, just add a few drops of black to the red to start the color off deep.
Color plus black +tone of color/ Color plus white = tint. The contrast will be increased if one starts off with the deepest tone and shade out to open skin for the highlight. Example, shade out the yellow by dipping tip of tube in water and wip shade out to the edge, leaving the edge area of open skin to represent white, this works best on Caucasians for obvious reasons. Your pretty canvas has wonderful light skin. I am assuming you will be applying a black and white background, to contrast the intense color foreground.

THE LINES

The lines look shaky, inconstant, unsure and varying in width. This reveals your lack of confidence and technique of application. To overcome this and build your application confidence, quickly outline the whole design with a black-wash. Mix 1/5 black pigment in 4/5 water use a smaller round needle grouping than you intended the final application line width. Example use a 3 round to apply the stencil if you intend to have a final line width of 5/7. Move a quickly as you can to as long as the design remains true. Complete the entire line stencil application this way, so that you basically create a permanent stencil. After you create the permanent stencil, you can then take your time to apply the final lines without the unneeded stress of chasing a disappearing stencil. When applying the lines, make a plane, one line section at a time. Start point a to end point b, stick with the plan, thinking "smooth lines", seriously this helps. Think "smooth", the hand does "smooth".

Concentrate only on the line section your applying at that moment, before you know it, all the lining is done.

Finally, and most importantly, be of one mind. Quality Tattoo requires the artist to be focused, no talking or thinking of anything else... be in the moment, all there is is tattoo application.

If you decide to make these suggested corrections, all the best to you, if you wish to disregard these suggestions and go your own path, all the best to you. Many paths will lead to the goal.

This is my first Critique. So be gentile.
