Having a different style adding to existing?

Hello! So I recently got this tattoo done which features a cherry blossom branch with a watercolour splash background and a fairytail emblem.

It has been healing nicely however I have now noticed certain things such as wonky lines. It was covering scars however they were not raised except for one which has been covered quite well with the pink emblem colour.

Other than that I have definitely started to wish I had started it at the first blossom 🌸 rather than the branch bit at the top as I’m now having difficulty thinking of how to add to the empty shoulder with the spiky point.

I recently had a conversation with a different artist whose work I like however it is a different style to my existing.
Their speciality is fine line delicate details and soft colour.
The topic was about them adding to the empty space up and around existing. Also mentioning if it’d make a better flow could include collarbone.

They of course reminded me they do a different style but that they think we can add more flowers and branches over the existing tattoo, then incorporate a fairy similar to the reference I sent. Possibly they’d add some subtle sparkling effects around the fairy, using colors similar to the flower petals and the fairy’s wings& mentioned they think extending the branches all the way to the collarbone would look very unnatural. Instead recommending adding a few scattered flower petals to create a softer, more balanced flow.

Im not the best at visualising so I’m here to hear opinions,if you think that the two different styles would go ok together or if it’d be better sticking to original style whether with a different artist or not.
(Other ideas would have been adding some characters such as Happy (fairytail) flying or/and objects such as celestial key and extending branches to shoulder and around.

i will include photo of mine & one of the other artists healed work to show style difference.

TIA x
