Get it removed if possible. Tattoos can cause serious health problems. When you get a tattoo, dangerous chemicals are injected into your body. For your own safety, get it removed and don't get anymore. For more info:

It's a bad idea to keep it. You are bothered by it because deep down you know it wasn't a good idea. Seriously, tattoos are really harmful. It's your body, your health, but if you know what's best, you'd get it removed. I know a girl who has two small tattoos one on each ankle. She's had them for years, but now she is having all kinds of medical problems, & even had several surgeries. She had to have her thyroid completely taken out, and a lot of her health problems were traced back to the toxins her body received from those tattoos. I'm just sayin...

Give it a while and ask friends and family about it, if your still iffy about if you can remove it

Thanks guys! Has anyone seen a good tattoo removal? I'm worried it will just look awful

Like it will still be there for me to obsess over and look bad

whereabouts have you had it done, and how big is it? I do know that names of wives is a bad one. :D

What I think you need to do at this point, is stop what you're doing, and wait a week or so, until you are calm. When you've calmed down and the episode has been fully expressed, you're ina shifted state and can make a good decision. Right now you're in an anxiety storm. BAtten the hatches, make no decisions, and ride out the rough weather.

When it's calm you can see where you are, and what to do, quite easily.

For all you know it's gorgeous. Anxiety brain can make great seem awful, and awful seem great. Never make a decision during anxiety even though that's what anxiety is trying to make you do. Resist that urge or you'll just be a tennis ball in the wimbledon match of life banging one way and another and another and another. If you want to drive your life, you can't just react to stress. You have to ride it out till it's gone.

It's on my leg, when it's done it will be pretty much my thigh (outside) and weedling onto my calf. It's adorable caricatures that are characters related to ppl in my family. They're going to be have a garden background. Right now it's just 5 floating characters on my leg. 2 and a half are colored in and the others are lines.
I basically already paid for the next session but I could probably give that to a friend so I'm not super worried about that part.
I'm really worried that I will regret removing it and I love the design but I don't think that the artist will put it on canvas lol!

You know, you could get the same artwork done on a canvas other than your body. Getting it removed is your best bet - for your own sake. And don't get anymore, hun. You are defiling your body, you don't want to do that. Not trying to be "preachy" or anything, just offering some sound advice - stay away from tattoos! They are nothing but trouble. Besides the health risk, tattoos are very degrading.

I have several tattoos and currently waiting for my next appointment, and I do get a bit anxious before getting a new one, what I usually do is to wait at least 6 months, I know it seems like such a long time, but when I got the first one my mother agreed (I was still living at her house) only if I waited for a year and that has been a great method to know if I really want it. So I agree with the others that mentioned waiting (either to continue, or to get it removed).
One thing you have to consider is that black and grey tattoos are the easiest to remove, is more difficult to take color ones out, and sometimes they won't be removed completely, only faded, and you will need several sessions.
In the meantime, take care of yourself, eat well, stay hydrated, and take your time to think what you want to do :)

This, ultimately, is your call. I'm really sorry you dislike your tattoo. What you are describing sounds really beautiful to me but that's just my opinion. I do think that perhaps getting other's opinions might help but know that at the end of the day whether you chose to get the tattoo removed, to leave it as is, or to continue the work is completely your choice. On a personal note, I have 4 tattoos each with very deep personal meaning and all of which I designed myself and love. I actually have a similar method to Nohemimi- I will not, ever, get a "spur of the moment" tattoo. I think about each carefully, the design, the meaning. I force myself to wait until I am completely obsessed with the image and the idea of getting it and only get them for very important moments in my life for example I am driving myself nuts with getting my next one in memory of my mother- a lupine with the words "I am proud of you" in her handwriting (she wrote it in her last card to me which I still have) Anyway, going off on a tangent here. Tattoos are not inherently bad like women who have mastectomies due to cancer and choose to have an image tattooed where their breast(s) were as part of their healing. Please don't let anyone tell you different of shame you for your choice. Again, what you do from here is up to you. Wishing you the best.
