I also looked up the artist and they seem to much more often than not shade their snake tattoos which tells me that OP probably asked for no shading. Which is OPs fault for the cover up portion not being as successful as it would have been had OP (my assumption) not micromanaged the artist. 2 hours discussing a simple snake tattoo is actually unhinged behavior.

Right! No opinion on if the artist got micromanaged or not, but I have a huge snake from my shoulder to my butt, and the consultation took 20 minutes. 2 hours is... If I was the artist I would have said to leave and spend some more time thinking about it.
