Update
It has almost been a whole year with my forearm tattoo. I have already decided that getting rid of it isn't as important as it used to be because i am currently dealing with health issues and bettering myself. I still hate the tattoo and feel like it gives me a bad image. I feel like people have a negative image about me when they see a poorly done tattoo on my arm. I still wish I can go back to the day I got this tattoo and saved myself and my money. Whenever I look at it, I still can't believe I did it. I still think about laser treatments, but i also think about how much money it would be. It kind of upsets me to know that almost a year has gone by and i haven't done anything about it by now. If i go through with laser treatments, it seems unrealistic that this whole thing will go away. It is dark ink and will require a lot of treatments which means a lot more money. If i go to another tattoo artist to lighten it up and rework the tattoo, there is no guarantee i will be pleased with it for the rest of my life. If i had gotten this on my back instead of my forearm, i would be able to live with this a lot longer before making a decision.
Still have not made a decision
After having the tattoo for several months I can honestly say the emotional and mental trauma has definitely went away. My tattoo may be poorly done but it could be 10x worse. After getting this tattoo, it has taught me not to make impulse decisions. Also, I have gone through a lot of painful experiences that made this tattoo seem like a nuisance problem (which it really is). It has been roughly 7 months and I honestly don't think about it as much or loathe myself for doing something this stupid. I have grown to accept the tattoo but i am still indecisive because I am a perfectionist and seeing those crooked patterns and fucked up flower makes me a little irritated. It's also way too dark for my taste. Currently, I've been thinking about finding a really good tattoo artist who can lighten the ink using grey or white or meet with a laser technician and ask them how many sessions it will take + the overall cost. I don't want to go through with expensive laser removal if it won't be gone completely. My tattoo has a lot of black ink and I haven't seen a lot of success stories with thick black ink
Month later p2
Forgot to add that i noticed something weird about the tattoo... i think it's fully healed but my skin underneath it looks weird. There's some skin that looks "shiny" and i'm worried its scarred. Anyways, here are some pictures of the healed tattoo. It faded quite a bit and in one of the pictures you can even see my skin.. In these close ups i hope some of you can see why i hate the tattoo so much. Closer up, you can see the multiple mistakes and messed up lines. As of right now, i'm set on lasering this off and will be making the call soon.
