Hi everyone,
I got a baby pink tattoo (almost white) with the lettering "Stay Strong" on my inner wrist ,with a little heart. I did it in this color because I liked it, and didn't really care about people not being able to see it since I just wanted as a reminded to myself, but it came up pretty bad as it look like a scar and everybody kept on telling me what was wrong with my wrist, so I decided to get it tattooed in black ink. WHAT A TERRIBLE MISTAKE!! the letters with the pink underneath looks a graffiti and it does not really match the crown I also got (which I do like, but maybe I was hoping for something smaller also...). I thought it was fine but now I see the font is so wrong for the tattoo...
What can I do here? Can I laser the black letters and also the pink ink so I would get my skin back to normal? My tattoo artist keeps on telling me that the pink would stay as is very soft so its better just to shade it but I just want to make it disappear...
I do feel terrible and I am avoiding looking at my wrist all the time...it is so messed up now :(
Any advice would be great guys, thanks!

its been 15 months since last time I wrote here. I took time to think and accept my tattoo but unfortunately, I still regret it badly. Many thanks to all the people that took the time to give their 5 cents and cheer me up a bit, it really helps :)
I have decided to for PicoSure laser and I got my first treatment a week ago (04/05/15).
I am updating with pics of the tattoo before the treatment, just right after, 4 days after and today, so we can see how its evolving so far. I can see little fading on the lettering but no improvement at all on the crown... I know is still too early but I feel a bit disappointed. I will post some pics once the crusting is gone.
hanging in there guys... :./

You're so inspiring! I had the same thing happen to me! I got a white tattoo years ago and people kept commenting that it was a scar. I started overanalyzing and thought black might look better so I JUST got it done jn black 3 days ago and I'm devastated. I really LIKED the white and the fact that it wasn't that noticeable, just something for me to see. I SO want to get it removed and I'm hoping to make an appointment in July after my black "touch up" has healed. Please keep sharing pics and good luck!

I totally know how you feel dear... We just have to focus in switching our regrets into strength and positiveness.
I hope your touch up heals soon so you can start seeking for advices and options. Please do let me know how it goes!! Good luck as well ;)

Looks lighter because of the new skin, but not much improvement so far. The shadows might be gone though which is better than nothing...
