Need Advice on style

[samuelxli]

Hi , I'm new to the site and I am hoping to gain more knowledge so I can enhance my tattoo getting experience. I have two tattoos as of right now. a chest piece and a banner around my arm. I was hoping to get some criticism for them and some advice on how to move forward. For my chest piece i went in asking for "Samuel the Thirteenth, but the artist said that due to my size, he wouldn't be able to fit the whole thing on my chest without changing the font to a size where it will look like a string around my chest. so i took his suggestion adjusting the placement of the "the" instead. but the more i look at it now, the more it seems like it reads " The Samuel Thirteenth" which really wasn't what i asked for and  doesn't seem right in terms of grammer. In the near future, i am hoping to add some roses to the background of the banner on my arm and a "X" on the top. since my tattoo's style would be consider more traditional, would it be weird or mismatching if i were to get roses that were in the new traditional style? i have attached images of the style of roses i am hoping to get and the font of the X. please provide me with some feedback. thanks in advance.

Hey there, the beauty of traditional tattoos is that you can put anything next to anything else. That rose looks awesome, get something like that for sure!

As for your existing tattoos, don't sweat them. The lettering is nice, and it's on you, so just enjoy it and add to you collection.
