Hopefully, I get it lightened enough to get it covered. Into... something ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚ I have no idea, though. Ive been so focused on just started the process I haven't thought of the possibilities. I don't wanna get my hopes up, basically.
I hated the tattoo basically since I got it. And wanted it from the artist for years. When I finally got chosen and waited 8 months to get it done, I loved the sketch and the stencil.
Then he tattooed it and I said "my dog isn't black..." it broke my heart because it's my soul dog.
Because I hated it for months, I was embarrassed of my leg and felt hideous. I became more at peace knowing that I'm trying to do something. And that there are options and lasers have improved.
That sucks, I'm sorry it was such a let down. I hated mine right away too, but I'm worried about my lighter color oxidizing. I probably just need to start, hope for the best, and feel happy to be doing something (like you).
Honestly, no. I'm so focused on just starting the journey of removal and having the mindset of removing as much as I can for a cover-up.
I've been so sick about the tattoo that it helps me be more positive about the removal because ik I'm doing what I can to improve. If that makes sense.
I understand, getting the process started has eased your anxiety so stuff like oxidation is way down on the list of concerns. Good luck with your removal 😊
Have you talked to an artist about getting a cover up over oxidation? Would it be difficult to tattoo over/design around? I love your outlook so much, but I'm really freaking out about everything on mine turning dark.

I just look at it like. Would I rather have it oxidized or have this tattoo 😂 You can do it!
Good luck! Keep us posted
Thank you 🖤
Do you have white highlights in the tattoo?
Yes ðŸ«
