Feeling ALOT better

It's been an intense six days, but I've come off on top. I'm starting to feel alot better about the tattoo. I'm considering uploading an image, but I'm afraid to "out" myself.

Going through so many emotions in such a brief period of time was new for me.
I've been through quite a lot in my years, so it's strange to say that this was the kicker for me.

I've been looking into some different alternatives as well. Serial Excision and/or infinityinking (that tattoo ink that goes away straight away with laser) to take the focus off the "double wings". First thing is first, and that's my meeting with Dr. Tattoff in Beverly Hills.

I'm amazed at how friendly and supportive you have been so far.
This might possibly be the kindest place on the internet.

Oh boy, where do I start... I went and got this...

Oh boy, where do I start...

I went and got this huge piece on my underarm. It covers the entire surface from wrist to arm pit.
Even going so far as to reaching around to my upper arm. I am a man that never cries and I can't stop crying. I have no appetite, I have difficulties focusing and realize that I'm falling into a depression. I feel so empty.

I just want to lie in bed and cry, but I don't really want to do that either. I have never felt this bad before, not even with friends or family dying. This is the worst I've ever felt, I feel more powerless now than I have ever, ever felt before. I'm trying to think positive thoughts and I realize that it's so fresh so maybe It'll get better as I go along.

I had the same artist as usual but I never realized that the wings are almost identical to another tattoo I have above it. Let's just say that I was very stressed on the day of getting the tattoo three days ago.

About 8 hours after getting the tattoo I started getting doubts, I fell into a fever and went home from work and stood in front of the mirror and started crying, realizing the mistake. After that it just got worse. I started seeing more and more things about that I didn't like, like the cross (i'm an atheist) so far down on the wrist but I really, really despise the wings as they imitate the wings on my upper tattoo.

I need this fresh piece gone and I need your advice. Should I go for a PicaSure laser or will YAG do?
Do you have any good advice on what to wear meanwhile getting rid of it? How long will it take? Have you tried getting a new piece on your underarm removed? How did it go?

I'm going on holiday to the USA (I'm Swedish) and have booked a first appointment with Dr. Tattoff in Beverly HIlls on March 5th. Will update after the meeting.
