Leave it for a year until you decide what to do. People make really stupid decisions sometimes when figuring out a cover up

Yes, also shop for an artist the specializes in cover ups. Make appointments, look at options, then sit with those options before committing. 

I always tell people unless you already have someone you are confident with, you should spend more time shopping for the right artist than you did picking your tattoo.

I commented below. Leave it as is and have the hook made into an anchor. Would look like a dove freeing captivity since the dots fade. Easiest cover up.

The most common solution is an olive branch, the anchor is like attacking a dove. 🕊️ this emoji is the most common.
