Really Need Professional Advice for my Super Big and Colorful Tattoo

ORIGINAL POST

I'm being crazy with my tattoo, i have no idea why...

I'm being crazy with my tattoo, i have no idea why i did it 2 months ago. I've been regretting day by day because my mistake. Now i feel like my life will be ruined and i'm so desparate because this tattoo, I've researched a lot of information about tattoo removal in this web, as far as i've known, picosure laser can make tattoo fade faster than laser YAG, however my tattoo includes black, red and yellow colors which recommended to be treated by YAG rather than by picosure. My question is which kind of laser should be the most suitable method for me and how many treatment that I will have to take to remove it completely. how much does it cost for removing my tattoo? Thanks for your help. ( English is not my native language, so sorry about grammar mistakes)

Your tattoo contains a lot of black, which is very treatable. There are laser wavelengths available to treat all colours, even the more difficult yellows and oranges. By the way, I think your tattoo is beautiful, by the way!
Ignore the repeated "by the way"!
thank you
I also think your tattoo is gorgeous. Give it some time. Eventually it will feel like a part of you instead of something that doesn't belong there.
at first I was happy with it and i even thought i will keep it forever, but i don't know why i changed my mind, now it's hard for me to think it a part of me :(( i just want my body can be clean again

thank for you replying, honestly, i agree that this is beautiful tattoo, but the point that it is not for me, at first i was so excited with it. However, soon, i realized that my body shouldn't be put anything on, i'm not a playgirl, i just want to see tattoo on other people. my tattoo is too big, in my country i can't show it off, and i'm tired because i always have to cover it, and gave up all my dresses which can show off my shoulders. I feel very terribly and lost my confident because it. how stupid i am with this tattoo.

That's unfortunate. Don't call yourself stupid, it was what you wanted at the time and you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. It's a normal reaction to be angry or place blame on yourself for a decision that later turns out to not have been the best one. However right or wrong, every decision we make in life is what we really wanted in that moment. Ok, so now you realize it wasn't the best idea, and your struggling...but self-blame isn't going to make this any easier to deal with or make the tattoo go away any faster. It’s futile to harass yourself with regretful thoughts and it's only going to make yourself feel worse. I have been there, I went through the whole tattoo regret fiasco, and the one thing I regret even more than the tattoo is how hard I was on myself and disappointed that I allowed the tattoo to take over my life causing me so much anguish. It's not worth it in the end. So you're probably thinking "it's easier said than done to stop all this worry and regret" - I know it's not easy, the first step to making it easier, in my opinion, is forgive yourself and accept the situation. Work towards a solution, in which you have already done as you are here researching tattoo removal. This community is extremely supportive, so stick with us and we will help you through this. Chin up, everything is going to be fine, you will see. xo

thank you :)

aloha muathu, Ink regret consumes many of us here on the forum. It does not matter if the ink was thought of, and planned for a long time, once it is placed on the skin, we are full of "what happened?". There will be many here on the forum that might say "it is a beautiful tattoo!" (and I am one of them) but it is your opinion that truly matters. I have over 7 tattoos, but it was the latest one that I knew had to be lasered off, and so the journey began. Modern technology is wonderful, and there are many here on the forum from all over the world that have begun the journey. Professional consultations may be a great help, it was for me. I learned that the alex trivantage has filters for almost every colour of ink. Yes, the picosure is out there, but there are some that do not have access to it. I believe you should do what is available to you, move forward, rather than wallow in self pity, hoping for the miracle of the picosure. It is placement on the body, artist's technique, ink formulation that all play a variable in the results. After care is so important also. Ink removal is something that takes time, and so I learned to be patient and stay positive (to keep my morale up, keeps the immune system up, and a good immune system gobbles up the blasted ink). Good luck with your ink removal journey, we are all here, supporting you. We have all been there, full of regret. aloha...k
