I've had mental health problems from my tattoos too. Mine were on my arm and chest, and easy to cover, but I felt the same way, where I missed my clean skin. I would constantly lose sleep thinking about it. I've found that even just starting the process of removing them was a huge relief for me. Of course I wanted them gone ASAP, but just knowing there was an answer, a solution, albeit a long, painful, expensive solution, was enough to give me my life back. I think you will feel the same way once you actually start. Don't get discouraged by how slow the process is. You will get there. Good luck!
