Honeybunches

105d

I got a new tattoo, and I hate it so much. The outline looked great, and I trusted the lady to shade correctly. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out how I wanted it to. This has made me severely depressed, anxious, and unwilling to leave the house in anything that doesn't cover it up fully. I had been stable for a good while, but this has rattled me to my core. I have also been very hard on myself since then, and there aren't many people in my life who understand. I know this isn't a healthy response, but I don't know how to come to terms with it. Are there any tips other than getting it removed completely? I would love to, but I can't afford it right now, and I need to cope with the decision and work towards that. (Please don't say anything mean about tattoos. I like tattoos, just not this one)

      Why not try a cover up? Choose a nice design, one that is already shaded so the artist can’t deviate, and maybe go to a different artist for the cover up so as not to offend the artist who did the original? Hope this gets better for you xx
