So sorry that you don't like your new tattoo. Don't worry you're not the first and won't be the last. Your best option is laser tattoo removal, depending on where you live your cost will vary.

This can be removed with laser tattoo removal. It will take a series of treatments. You'll want to wait until it's completely healed before removal (about 4-6 weeks). Cost will vary, but see a laser tattoo removal expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Unfortunately, it's much easier to get a tattoo than it is to remove one. You need to wait a couple of months before proceeding to removal, because your skin first needs to heal. Luckily, fresh tattoos are often less challenging to remove because the pigment hasn't settled deeply into the skin. Nevertheless, it is still a long process and will take at least 5 sessions of laser removal. PicoWay is the best laser I've found for removing a variety of tattoo colors. The laser actually shatters the pigment so that the body can break it down and eliminate it. Black ink is the easiest to remove. A board-certified dermatologist who is an expert at tattoo removal will be able to tell you more about the timeline you can expect when you go for an in-person consultation.
