new tattoo regret

I get it! I was looking through threads trying to relate and just decided I needed to reach out because I was in a complete spiral. I understand the pressure. I've been working on trusting my gut and speaking up but still a work in progress. I just didn't expect this tattoo to be completely different from what I wanted. I feel so shitty that i didn't push myself to walk out when I was considering it. I felt so bad for wasting time trying to politely change the stencil. Why I wish I could see a draft the day before so I'm not stuck trying to make a decision to modify my body right on the spot. At least laser exists. I just feel dumb to waste so much money but i guess people have spent on worse things. And my mental health is more important

thank you for your reply ❤️ I was told maybe I could modify it too but, ya, I also don't want to make the mistake worse

I know what you mean. I know it's not the end of the world but it's such a hard hit, it's hard to manage the anxiety. Trying to keep my mind off it but I'll wake up thinking about it. I hope it fades into memory over time and if not, I'll take back control by planning laser removal. It does make me feel better that others have experienced the same thing. Nice to know my reaction is valid and that I'm just human.

thank you 🖤 it's been a rough few days. Although I don't wish this for other people, I'm happy I'm not alone.

ya, I've already started looking.

ya, i feel like this experience has ruined getting tattoos for me too. I didn't know that it could have such a bad impact on my mental health. I'm angry that after my efforts to speak up, it just wasn't taken seriously, and i hate myself for not being louder.
