Do I continue removing or eventually get a coverup?
I want to preface this by saying that I already feel really bad about this tattoo, so making fun of me/lecturing me for it will honestly accomplish nothing. It’s one of my biggest regrets.
Almost 2 years ago during one of my worst depressive episodes, I impulsively decided to get this tattoo. If I could undo it, I 100% would. In a heartbeat. My left arm has not seen the sun in a long time and I’m ashamed of it. Not only because I genuinely dislike the tattoo, but also because it reminds me of some of my darkest times.
I have now undergone 4 sessions of picosure and I believe there are 8 in my package. My plan was to get it fully removed and never get another tattoo. However, I’m starting to feel pretty discouraged. I’m not sure this tattoo will fade with only 8 sessions, and I don’t want to keep removing it for years to come. It’s been very hard on me both mentally and physically.
I was wondering what you guys think about a coverup. I am pretty scared because I don’t want to get something over this tattoo that I end up regretting even more. I honestly don’t trust my own judgment at this point. And I’m not even sure if there’s an artist out there willing to tackle this.
I welcome any genuine advice with open arms, but please refrain from making rude comments 🥹
