19 Years Old and Regretting a Brand New Tattoo - Los Angeles, CA

Hey everyone... I haven’t been on this forum in years. I got caught up in school and work and for the most I have been at peace with my tattoo. While distracted and not obsessing over it, I have always been self conscious not to wear tank tops. I decided a couple of months ago it was finally time to start removal. My friend had been working on removing two dense black ink tattoos like mine and raves about the place she was going to so I gave them a try. I can’t be more stoked about my results! I am two months out from my first session and headed back in on Friday!

Long overdue but... I've now considered getting the tattoo fixed up. I found some great artists and even got a new tattoo! I'll post a pic of it! The artists at the Shamrock told me the birds were still too fresh and lifted for them to go in and fix them up so I have to wait a couple to a few months which is great because I need more time to think and I'm still considering removal. Regardless, I got a new tattoo.. my first since the birds and I love it! I recommend that those of you still in a funk over old ink work on some new ink that you love! It made me feel a whole lot better!

Hi everyone... sorry I haven't updated. I was supposed to begin treatment about a month ago but my doctor and I decided to hold off because I didn't want to deal with shielding the tattoo from the sun! I want to enjoy my summer! Anyway... I don't know when I will begin treatment right now. The plan was to push it to Fall but it's becoming more and more bearable so I'm just going to begin treatment when I am ready!
