Is it better to remove a fresh tattoo or an old one?

I got a tattoo 4 days ago and im hating it. Im thinking about laser removal, my tattoo is on my ribcage and its a very small one 3x2 with thin lines, only numbers. How many sessions will i need and how much time do i need to wait to start with the treatment?
