    Zenae got a reaction from Maynard in Newbie with extreme tattoo regret   
    I completely agree. I've only felt this strong reaction since the latest addition of the tattoos on my arm (the partial mandala). For the other tattoos, I've gotten them and felt excited for about a week and then pretty much forgot about them until they happened to show and seeing them made me happy.

    Which tattoos do you not like?  The roses/mandala/triangle?  I think they look nice, and appear to be well done.

    I had mine done in March. I think it took my about 4 months at least to let it settle. It was a bit weird at first to show it off in summer time when I went swimming. I always tried to hide it before but it would have been unfair to my kids to lock them in on the hot summer days and not go swimming.
    After all,  I got some really nice compliments and it made me feel confident.
    It was a very emotional journey but those feelings that take over will pass. It really seems it's a very common feeling and other people reached out to me telling me about the same experience. 
    I think it's just the mind that needs to adapt to the visible (but very nice) change on your body.

    Tattoos certainly don't have to have deep meaning. 
    If the curious ask you what they mean just tell them "It means I like tattoos".

    Don't do anything. Of your original 5 tattoos, you've had two covered up and now you are looking to do even more coverups. This is just a recipe for disaster. Your skin isn't a piece of paper, you can't just keep erasing and starting over. Every time you tattoo, laser or cover up, you are traumatizing your skin and creating more scar tissue.
    I have two sleeves, back, chest panel and a piece that goes up my right leg to connect with my back/chest. Not a single tattoo has any meaning other than I like the imagery. Just my opinion, but a lot of that 'meaning' nonsense comes from watching too much LA ink and these other tattoo shows where people claim this big long sob story about why they are getting the tattoo. 
    Take some time, a lot of time, before you do anything; otherwise you're just going to make it worse.

    I just wanna say this,I have many many tattoos and many years of getting tattooed and by many artists,I started when I was about 25 and I am 59 now,
    I am still getting tattoos,
    and ,well,I still get tattoo remorse,regret,etc,etc,what ever the F*** you want to call it,to this day !  
    it goes away,maybe takes a month,maybe takes a week,once the pain of the $600 or $1500 I just spent goes away,I am thinking of my next tattoo,
    and all is good in my world again.

    You are right, its NOT healthy. Don't hate me for saying this but why does it have to have some deep meaning? From what I see, it looks cool. I would invite you to consider exploring other areas of your world that may not be aligned...is this misdirected frustration at someone/something else? I would offer that a bunch of us have tattoos that break "rules". But hey, if you don't like it, you don't like it. It's not a bad tattoo though!

    Just add art around them. It's a really nice grouping.

    They all look good from here.

    That's a question for a competent artist to answer.  I imagine it would be a difficult cover-up, given the size and placement.  If it were me, I'd just start thinking about other tattoos to go around them.  Were these done by the same artist?  If you like that style, they could probably build a really cool cohesive sleeve from what you already have.  Or just collect different tattoos around it - I honestly think they either way would look just fine.
