I’m planning on getting a somewhat large tattoo from hip to mid-thigh, and I’ve booked a consultation with an artist who’s linework I really like.

However, while I like his linework, I prefer the shading of another artist at the same shop. Would it be bad manners to request a “compilation” piece for one to do the linework while the other does shading?

Generally speaking, yes.
If the artist who’s doing your tattoo isn’t good enough to do the whole tattoo, you shouldn’t be going to him/her at all.

While getting tattooed by two artists at the same shop is perfectly acceptable, I don’t think you’d really get a positive response from what you’re suggesting.
