Lots of great advice and support here for you. I think your tattoo is awesome and looks great. If I saw you walking down the street, you'd make me smile and want to give you a hug. I wouldn't, of course, cuz that's just creepy but you get my drift. :)

I feel like its an unnecessary thing to have on my arm and its like im telling people that my mum died, is that me overthinking?

On the second 6 there is a dot if you look close and also on the lines the ink leaks up. How can i fix the 6?

Yes its irratating me as im a perfectionist and can get very iritable

It's not bad at all. Quit beating yourself up about it. You'll get used to it. It won't go away completely with lasering, so unless you want to cover it up with something else, just leave it and get more tattoos.

Why am i beating myself up, i dont get it. ?

I hate my first tattoo check my thread

Same issue..

If you are worried about work/school/social reactions, they make sleeves that are surprisingly comfortable. From personal experience of having a poorly done piece in the same area and size lasered for re-work by a better artist, you're looking at $2k to make it go away. And that is a conservative estimate. I didn't think the pain was all that bad. Then, there is always the tried-and-proved black panther cover-up, but somehow that doesn't seem like what you want. I'm sure she left you with many great memories to help you through. Maybe some of those can help you make peace with the ink.

Im worried about it full stop i think its just a stupid tattoo.  Did your tattoo go away completely?

Thanks people on here, really supportive. My main concern it is just too damn noticeable which i feel anxious about.

Trust me, I've been there. Everything you just said I felt when I got my first couple of tattoos. I also considered laser which, as far as I know, does work, though results vary. The best advice I got on here was "get more tattoos". You'd be amazed at how soon you stop worrying when you have a few more. I strongly recommend keeping it, at least until it heals completely. I really think it looks good, and it has genuine significance to you. Remember, it could always be a whole lot worse.

how did you feel when you got yours then? and honestly do u think mine is not too big

Sorry for your loss.

It appears to be a well placed and well executed tattoo.

Is it the design you hate, or does it have something deep to do with making your mom's passing really real?

I am also sorry for your loss - just lost my mom 3 weeks ago. The work looks well done and placed - can you tell us exactly what it is you don't like about it? Is it, perhaps, an emotional reaction to you mom's passing? You generally have 3 options - Live with it, laser it, or cover it. The first is, generally, the easiest, least expensive and least expensive route. Only you, though, can ultimately decide which route to take.

In any case, welcome to the forum.

It is the Size of the thing, the location,  it looks way to big.. I dont even know why i got the tattoo it was so impulsive i wasnt in the right frame of mind. 

Does the laser thing get rid of a tattoo completely Im only 20 and dont want black dots on my skin ,

So i got my first tattoo left it in the hands of the artist tbh didnt think it through mother passed away last year so wanted to get something small for memory and honour and ended up with the tattoo shown below. Its making me anxious and depressed. Its horrible and i hate it. Anyone know what i should do about this or am i exagarating the situation. Yes i know im stupid but im a very impulsive person didnt think it through and only looked in the mirror for a split second when he traced it on plus the missus said it looked ok.. Tattoos are for life and i definitely dont want this for life.  I have been constantly asking people if it looks ok. Ive spent days on days looking at tattoo depression and anxiety online spent hours looking at it and i actually hate myself now. 
Had the tattoo for a month and nothings change.
