i want more to go around it but not sure what. and if i dont get them do u think ill forget it still 

i hope i do get there. i really do. Thats crazy how u experienced the same thing gives me a good feeling.

Oooohhhh yes. I couldn't stop staring at the flaws. Until one day, I just stopped caring about the imperfections and looked at the bigger picture, literally hahaha. Don't worry, you'll get there.

ive had this obsession for 2 months now got tatt in january ..
 
Did u constantly look at your tattoo?

How long did it take you for the obsessions to stop and how did it sink in 

how do i come to terms with tattoos not being perfect i love them now.

Then let it be a lesson to you not to sweat the small stuff. Not trying to belittle your OCD or saying get over it. Just trying to turn a negative into a positive. Tattoos are imperfect because they're made by humans, not robots, and there's no eraser on the other end of the tattoo machine. That's part of the beauty of them. People aren't perfect either. Get more tattoos and you won't even think about it. Worked for me
 

Ah man that sounds like a right pain in the ass. Hopefuly ill get over this maybe i will. 
Im the same even if i get a mark in my clothes or something so it not just tattoo but tattoos are more permanent. 
Ill leave it for now 

Great news is that ive come to like the tattoo as it heals.. The 6 is my ocd do you recon if i had it shaded it would cover the 6 .. Or they could go over the line again?

Lots of great advice here...all saying the same thing. Love your tattoo - each one is personal and it is the little quirks that make them so. The issue isn't the tattoo, it's your OCD. In the famous words from the movie Frozen.....Let it go.

very true. Lol

I'm very sorry for your loss.
I think your tattoo looks great, and the size is perfect for your arm. I get the impression you feel it doesn't do your mum justice? Nothing will ever truly compare to her, after all, she was your mum :) but how about seeing your (lovely) tattoo as a starting point?
Did your mum have any particular hobbies or interests, or things/people/pets that meant a lot to her? how about maybe incorporating some ideas into a sleeve and build those around your original tattoo. You could also have fun with it too, by adding little things that just you and your family would understand, but if anyone asked you could explain and then talk about the things your mum loved and enjoyed. If you take your time, I'm sure you could find a fantastic artist who could gradually bring it all together for you.
I have been down the laser route, it was painful, bloody, sore and expensive, I also have a bit of scaring, and its still not gone :( I too went in head first and spent two weeks crying and obsessing over my first tattoo (mine is a genuine disaster zone , unlike yours!) I then spent the next ten years constantly wearing long sleeved shirts, even in the summer. That was it for me, longsleeves4life!... until last Wednesday when I went to a brilliant artist and he made a start on what will be a full sleeve tribute to my pets! and something will be done with that mess on my arm but I'm not sure what yet ;)
It's a long story as to why I got out of my tattoo rut, but the point is, your tattoo is actually good!!! it really is, I think to laser it would be a waste, get planning on some ideas to go with it, enjoy seeing it all come together, have fun with it, research artists and turn it into everything you want it to be.

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

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

Wow fair enough and thats another reason it attracts too much attention 

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