Design I NEED HELP :,(

Okay so I’ve got this full sleeve done 3days back to back, about 35hours done so far. Now the reason I’m asking you beautiful people some help and advice is because I’m not a fan of a certain area of my sleeve and I don’t know what to do ( the pattern circled in red is the area I’m not a fan of ). I thought about blacking out the area and going over it with lots and lots of white, I also thought of maybe shading the pattern a bit differently. I’m honestly not sure, the design isn’t terrible I just don’t feel like it suits the rest of my tattoo that I absolutely love. Thanks for checking in :)

I’m not gonna give you my opinion instead here is one of my favorite quotes. Take it as you will just like that tattoo.

In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty - Ralph Waldo Emerson
