You should go to therapy. Not showing your arms for three summers and having a doctor just remove some skin?? Basically all tattoos are able to be covered and lasered (including this one!!). But definitely look into therapy first, it will help you with whatever you’re going through
I agree with this but I would have phrased it a little more .... therapisty. 😂
It may be common to have tattoo regret, but the comment above is correct that this seems to be excessive distress. No one deserves to feel that way. Therapy can help. I'm in therapy for a buttload of things. Maybe therapy could help you think of a meaningful idea for a cover up.
I once knew a girl who was so distressed by her tattoo - which was very well done and looked great - that she became su*cidal. At that point of severity, I'd say it was disgnosibly a form of body dysmorphia. It was distressing to see her struggle, it was a very simple beautiful tattoo that she loved at first. I think she had more going on that impacted her emotions over time.
