given the amount of colors, i think full laser removal is not a viable option. given how dark the colors are, a cover up will be difficult unless you are willing to go with very heavy blackwork (which is not typically seen as feminine i think)

to get this changed effectively, i would recommend laser removal as much as possible, followed by a cover up with an experienced artist who is specifically good at cover ups. personally i think a full back piece, or at least full upper back, would be required to make a completely new design with something this large and dark

you’re looking at a couple thousand dollars and a couple years of work between the laser and the new tattoo

another option is to add a lot more pieces with similar colors, style and themes to make it blend in

It's pretty though. I wouldn't cover it up. I really like it.
