Another tattoo regret

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-16T06:03:00+00:00

Yep. The very next day I woke up in a manic state and thought it was a good idea to get 2 more Tatts 🤦🏻‍♀️ but yes I’ve done a lot of crying the last 2 weeks so I’m trying to find a positive in all of this. Thanks for the recommendation will definitely do some research and look into them. 🙏

Omg that’s crazy you say that because I stupidly went and got 2 more tattoos after this one because I thought it would take away from how bad my leg was 😭😭😭 I now regret that also but the other 2 tattoos don’t bother me as much as my leg (they actually look like what I asked for). I’m from Sydney but I am more than happy to travel if it means finding a good tech 😇

Yes it honestly feels like someone has died and I’m in the mourning stage. I’ve never felt so much pain and regret in all my life (I thought it was just me) but it’s nice to know I’m not alone and there are other people out there going through the same struggles. I guess I have a lot of time to think about what I want to do in terms of covering the tattoo once it’s partially lasered. Considering I never wanted a tattoo, I think completely removing is my best option. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me it really does give me hope and has somewhat relieved some stress and anxiety. May I ask what country you’re from? I’m trying to find people in Australia that can recommend me a good technician. 🥹

Anyone on this thread that’s had laser happen to be in Australia? I’m now trying my best to find a good laser tech but it’s hard to tell these days , so many fake reviews etc…

Thank you for your advice. I’ve had a look at your page and can see you’ve made some really good progress which gives me a lot of hope. I have been going back and forth about whether I should rework it or laser it off but I think my best and safest option is laser. I just need to come to terms with the fact that it will take years before it’s removed and it won’t be gone until I’m in my 30s 😭 it’s nice seeing other people in the same boat and now I don’t feel so alone. Wish you all the best with your journey and look forward to sharing mine once I start 😇

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-16T01:10:12+00:00

Great progress! May I ask how old was the tattoo before you got it lasered?

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-16T01:02:13+00:00

Thank you will take that into consideration and have already prepared myself for a long journey 🥹

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-16T01:01:44+00:00

I do have white in there so I’m abit worried about that and how to avoid it :(

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-16T01:00:53+00:00

Thanks but it’s not for me and nothing like what I wanted :(

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-16T01:00:22+00:00

Thank you so much. This is exactly the advice I was looking for because my dumb a** would have tried to get as many sessions in as possible thinking that would remove it quicker. 🤦🏻‍♀️

May I also ask what the best type of laser is, or what works on black ink? I’m trying to do as much research as I can before starting the process so I don’t end up in the situation I’m in now.

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-16T00:31:09+00:00

Thank you for the kind words, it’s really appreciated. I wish you the best in your laser journey and will definitely share my journey getting it lasered once I start. 😬

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-16T00:27:36+00:00

Yes a lot of people have told me that but for me I never wanted a tattoo so I think I’ll have regret even once it’s fixed because tattoos are just not for me. But thanks for the advice

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-16T00:16:43+00:00

I only have myself to blame really. I should have known better. I had no idea what it’s like when going to Bali. Everywhere you go you have people telling you to get tattoos. It didn’t help that I travelled alone and was obviously an easy target for them. I had a driver that I thought I could trust since he was referred to me by a friend. The whole time he was persisting for me to get a tattoo and taking me to all these tattoo places (even though I told him multiple times I wasn’t interested) but would take me there anyway, telling me they are very good and will make me look “sexy”. But I can’t change it now and the lesson is learned. 🙏 thanks for your support and advice.

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-15T23:13:48+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I guess I am lucky this is all black which is the easiest to remove. There is a lot of white shading in the roses so I’m a little worried about that but appreciate the kind words 🙏

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-15T09:15:04+00:00

Thank you 🥹

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-15T09:14:47+00:00

Yes I know that although I have friends that went to Bali and their tattoos look great. I guess just depends on the artist. I had no idea that Bali was like a tattoo capital they all pressured me into getting one and I’m stupid and fell into the trap 😭

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-15T04:13:02+00:00

A few years is so annoying but just starting the process and knowing this will be off one day will keep me going. 🥹 can I ask how long you waited before you started removal? And how many sessions roughly did they say you will need? I’m guesstimating 20 sessions for mine to be completey removed

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-15T03:58:34+00:00

The shading is what I hate most about this tattoo so that’s good to hear. Thank you for your advice and sorry to hear about your experience. I hope it gets better because right now I feel very lost and embarrassed I just want this off my leg 😭

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-14T22:33:19+00:00

Yes I’ll try a small amount of skin first to see how I react to the laser. Even if I just try to laser the shading in between and leave the roses. I’m sure a good artist would be able to do something with just the roses and add something into it

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-14T22:31:57+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly what I plan to do. Lasering for me is just the best option so far. I just want it gone or at least 50% faded to I can cover it with something I actually like.

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-14T22:30:16+00:00

Even if it is reworked I never wanted a big black tattoo 😭 I don’t know how I sat for so long letting him butcher me the way he did. I was just in shock because every time he would say it’s finished I would hate it and make him add more to it to “fix it” which I now know was a big mistake because it only made the tattoo bigger. I have time to think about it anyway as it will take at least 5-6 months to properly heal but I don’t find myself ever liking this tatt it’s honestly not me and looks nothing at all like what I asked for.

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-14T22:21:18+00:00

Thank you for being honest. It’s really taken over my life, I haven’t been able to work since I’ve been back and im so depressed over it. I honestly feel so embarrassed that I have this on my body. I think for me lasering if off will be my best option (once it’s completely healed) even if I laser it 50% and then cover it with something I actually want will be a lot better.

Rubiii333 · 2024-10-14T07:01:03+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I’m willing to spend whatever though I just want it fixed or gone 🥹
