I Hate my Brand New Tattoo. Wilmington, NC

ORIGINAL POST

Ill be the first to admit im a very impulsive...

WORTH IT$1,400
ill be the first to admit im a very impulsive person and i have no one to blame but myself. with that said, i will also say i think my artist did a great job, but it wasnt what i wanted at all... and i feel so hurt and i wish i never did this at all. ive had to keep myself from having an anxiety attack or becoming depressed because i know that wont solve anything. so im trying to stay positive! i have an appointment at ideal image in a few days for a consultation. i have to wait a month and half for this to heal but im completely sure i will not change my mind. im scared but trying to stay optimistic and hopefully the picosure can remove it 100%. if anyone can give me any advice id be eternally grateful. i learned my lesson and i never want another tattoo as long as i live.

the only thing that makes me nervous is every review ive seen so far, 95% of them dont look lie they ever truly went away.

I think the tattoo is really cute so if you decide to keep it, be confident about it.

You may not like it but the artist has done as amazing job!! do you mind me asking who did it? DMC I had my whole bag tattooed when I was just 17. I am now turned 50 and I have spent the past 5 years getting it removed. Got about 1/4 to go. don't like the splodges of messy ink (looks like bruising) so will probably end up getting another tattoo. lol

ot was by a man named Ryan at elite tattoo. I believe he did a great job too! I just hate the style of it and I should've gone to someone else

Hi, check out my review. It might be useful to you :-) I must say your tattoo is beautiful! But if it doesn't make you happy it's the right thing to get it removed. I don't regret getting mine removed.

Good luck x

ive been following yours avidly and its removing nicely! how many more treatments do you think you have left?

I really love it. I also have a tattoo that other people like, but I don't, so I might know exactly how you feel to hear that.. still, it's really beautiful and I'm saving the pic.

Day of consultation at ideal image

i just had my consultation at ideal image and it went very well. They were very kind and informed me on everything. I will have to have 9 sessions that will take a year to complete. I happened to catch them while they were doing a 15% off discount (imagine that) and my original price was gonna be 1700 but now it's down to 1400.

Thank god for my husbands great credit because we can now make payments every month.

I plan to update with pictures along the way. My first actual pico laser apt will be on sept. 4.

Best of luck with your removal - I agree that it's very cute and unique, but if it's not a fit then do what feels right. I look forward to your updates.

May I just say I absolutley ADORE your tattoo. I know it don't mean much and I know what its like to regret a new tattoo but I just wanted to tell you that that is one seriously GORGEOUS tattoo even if you've decided to remove it.

1st picosure treatment day 1 and the next day updates

ashkabash
yesterday i had my first procedure done. i first one say i thought 100% the laser wouldnt hurt and oh my sweet lord was i wrong. it was terrible! but like everyone says, it does only take a minute or so.

the reviewer that said the laser obliterates green pigment is absolutely correct.

after my session, the pain i felt was like a bad burn but after an hour, i couldnt feel anything besides a dull ache. i only formed a few small blisters and overall im very optimistic :)

my next apt is November 16!

I feel like I'm reading my own thoughts after reading your post. I just got a tattoo on Sunday and there are moments where I love it and it feels ok, but most of the time I'm in total regret. It's way too large and I have it on my forearm, which makes it visible to all 15,000 people that work in my corporate office setting.

I was told that I had to wait SIX MONTHS before I can begin treatment since it's a new tattoo. I assume this wasn't the case for you...? Do you mind sharing how long you waited for the process to begin and what they told you in the consult?
