Cohesive?

Got this Edward Scissorhands tattoo when I was freshly 18 and hadn’t found out about American Traditional yet lol. Now that I’m older and have the funds to work on finishing my sleeve I’m concerned that it’s throwing off the cohesiveness of my trad work. Opinions? Is it worth blasting over or should I keep building around it?
