I don´t have a tattoo around my belly, but I do have navel piercings and really like them. Maybe you can stick one of those decorative gems and see how it looks? I used to do that with some of my piercings to see how it will look, good luck.

Where can I get these decorative gems?
January 29, 2015
You can buy them online or in cosmetic/craft supply stores. I glue them on with eyelash glue.

I actually kinda like your tattoo. The good news with a belly button piercing is that you can take it out immediately if you don't like the look of it and the hole would close right up. So you can try it out if you want. We tend to be our own worst critics.

Oh yes. I wanted to mention that you probably don't need to get a piercing to try it out and get an an idea of the look of it.

really what do you like about the tattoo because to me it kinda looks weird
January 30, 2015
Doesn't look weird. I agree that the red isn't very bright but I also think that the rose looks nice and if the intention is to camouflage the scar, I think it does that well.

well ive decided im definitely going to start laser tattoo removal the beginning of August. Im going to be going to a place called NEW LOOK HOUSTON and ive read reviews and gotten other people opinion on the place and ive also had a consultation there. Ive been to at least 4 or 5 tattoo removal consultations and ive come to conclusion that they were the best out of them all. They were honest and straight forward. They have great reviews and i actually have a friend who goes there as well. they are going to be charging me 195$ a session but they do also have package deals but im going to pay as i go or if i do decided to do a package deal it will only be for like a package of 3-5 treatments. NOT BUYING A PACKAGE DEAL FOR LIKE 10 TREATMENTS. But im going to try laser first to get as much ink as possible out of my skin then im going to try excision if it all doesnt come out i really just want the tattoo gone i not concerned about a scar or hypo or hyper pigmentation

It took me two years, to go see a doctor. So it was my birthday gift to myself this year. I am very excited, no big change yet. The tattoo is changing. It looks very wrinkled like dry dry skin or scabs of a healing sore. I will go for my third in September.

xraygirl, yes ma am i just want this thing gone im kinda glad its on my stomach so i don't have to show it when it starts fading and looking weird during the laser removal process, quick question by looking a the photos of my tattoo does the tattoo look really dark dense like? and does the colored ink in my tattoo look really vibrant or does it look more dull to you?
July 30, 2014
to me your tattoo doesn't look dense . I wouldn't consider your color vibrant (which is a good thing ) :) easier to remove !!!!!!!!

thanks to be honest when i got the tattoo when it was healing i would peel the scabs and when the color was healing in my tattoo i would peel the scabs off all the time i think thats probably why it looks so dull looking lol,,,i didnt care because after it was all sed and done i knew i wanted this awful tattoo removed
July 30, 2014
yea know, I keep saying i'm going to get another anchor over it....but after it's gone I can't imagine going through it again if the new tattoo isn't what I want either. there is enough Anchor accessories out there that I can compensate for instead! I just want this hideous thing gone!
July 30, 2014
did that cause you to scar any? that's what would happen to me if i picked at them. but from the looks of it I don't see any scarring :)

July 30, 2014
xraygirl, no it didnt cause any scarring thank god but i heal pretty well anyways. i dont want anymore tattoos and if i was to get another one i will definitely think it thru for a longggggg time before deciding to get it. im just so ready to get my first treatment done i know ill feel a whole lot better.

I love your plan for starting removal! I bought a package deal for 5 treatments, and in the end I am very happy I saved the money, but I may suggest getting one done before buying a package. Just to make sure you are happy with the place, results, and want to continue forward. The color in your tattoo is not that noticable as you mention. Sounds like doing the black first will benefit you most, and be safest with your skin tone. I'm no expert but I wish you the best with this treatment! Keep us updated on the progress!

Ive came up with a plan about my tattoo. My plan is to just try laser first since my tattoo is mainly black the laser technician told me he would first remove all the black ink first to avoid less hypo-pigmentation as possible before targeting the red and green. After hes done removing all the black then he will remove the colored in which is red and green. I think this is a very good idea. He also told me that the colored ink in my tattoo kinda blends in with my skin tone so after removing the black it may not be as noticeable as it is now. And if the color doesnt come out after being treated then thats when ill look into tattoo excision. Heres some recent pics of my tattoo and how it looks. does the color kinda blend in with my skin tone to u?

I think that is a very good idea. I also think thr color does blend into your skin. Deff start laser, you will be better off even if you do end up getting an excision to remove the color, it wont be as big of a scar. Good luck :)

Good decision, I am not sure if the colors blends with your skin exactly, I think that will be easier to judge once you progress with your treatments. Good luck!
