Brainteaser 2 - Tatoo Parlour

Ivor wants a tattoo on his arm. There are only two tattooists in the small village where he lives, and Ivor visits both before deciding where to have his done.

The first one shows him a recent tattoo of a bird on his shoulder - Ivor is not very impressed, either by the tattoo or by the state of the room, so he goes to the second tattooists in the village. This one has a recent tattoo on his back which he is proud to show to Ivor.

Ivor is very impressed by what he sees and decides he would like one just the same. Why then does Ivor decide to return to the first tattooist in order to have the work done?
