Wanting to Remove Part of a New Tattoo Due to Anxiety. Not Sure Which Laser to Use. Help! Centennial, CO

I have been reading people's posts on here for about 2 months now and decided to finally share my story in hopes of getting some questions and concerns answered. I got my first tattoo at the end of December. A good friend who is a very talented tattoo artist did it professionally and I do love the design. However, it ultimately came out much larger than I had originally wanted and it is far more visible than I had envisioned it to be. It is on my right shoulder and wraps a little down my upper arm and close to my collar bone. Its all done in black ink with grey shading. I initially loved it but about a month and a half ago it triggered a massive panic attack and ever since then I feel like it has altered my look too drastically and is just not me. After much contemplation I realized it is the leaves in my tattoo design that bother me so much. The rest of it is a beautiful paisley/mehndi design but there are 5 leaves designed in it that were not what I initially wanted and they tend to stick out and show around the neck line of about 95% of my shirts and tops. This bothers me a lot because I never saw myself as having a tattoo that would be so visible all the time. I love tattoos and always admire other people's ink but I liked the idea of having a tattoo I could show off when I wanted to willingly show it off. I keep going through stages where it makes me anxious and I feel like Id be truly happy with my ink if I could just remove the parts of it that bother me so much. Ive had two consultations so far. One with a qswitch laser and one picosure. Im leaning towards paying double the price for the picosure because im really worried about scarring and also believe i will need less treatments. Ill be paying $300 a session versus $150 for the qswitch.

I want to know for those of you who are having/had laser tattoo removal what is the best time of year to start this journey? Im leaning towards living with it through summer then starting treatments in the fall. That way I can cover it easier while it heals after sessions. Also is using the picosure vs. qswitch for black ink a better option? Obviously Id prefer to pay less per session but I want the best results possible. My last question is for anyone who has previously been on Accutane. I was on Accutane for 5 months and by the time I start laser removal it will be over six months since being off the drug. Im just concerned that any long term changes in my skin could potentially affect laser results. Ive read mixed opinions on this through all my research. Thanks in advanced so much for any help anyone can provide! Id post a tattoo picture but Id like to respect the art since it was done by a friend :)
