This is really well put, I really appreciate this input. I think as I was planning this tattoo I didn't realize I was admiring it on my phone all the time and not on my body. The thought of having it there forever is still messing with me (again this never happened with my other one..) I'm taking a break from staring at it for now haha.

Bingo!  The concept of permanence is possibly playing a larger, if not total, role in your doubt than the tattoo, image, execution, location, experience...etc. 

I’d venture to guess that if this is only your second tattoo and first in a visible spot, your feelings of anxiety are completely reasonable and probably not too uncommon. Some of my friends have fun teasing me cause they know I tend to be very harsh and unsure about my tattoos. Compound this with the fact you can see 1,000’s of the best tattoos from the best artists all around the world, refreshing on your instagram feed hourly. AND the fact that you can appreciate all of those without the consequences of getting them and it makes even more sense why one would second guess, go through shock or feel a sense of regret.
It’s actually probably a big part of the power and statement of tattoos, a sense of live for today, don’t care about tomorrow, self assured impression whether actual or just imagined. 
In conclusion, take the advice you’ve received so far and stop looking at it or thinking about it at least until it’s completely healed, settled in, no longer shiny and overly saturated looking.    Give yourself permission not to deal with it about it for at least three months before you can make a reasonable, levelheaded decision or opinion about it.   
 

HEY been there and I feel for you. I second what JAC said.  Take a break from thinking about it or even looking at it for a while. Once the tattoo has settled and you are more used to it you might be surprised to find you actually like it and what you are experiencing now is just the panic of the concept rather than the art. 
 
I say this both as a fairly medium/heavily tattooed guy and also someone who tends to have strong negative reactions to most of the tattoos I get initially.
There have been a few I continued to dislike past the normal break in phase. For these, two of them were “fixed” by just adding more around them.  I found some of what I didn’t like was the placement or how much the stood out all alone. Also, adding took some of the attention away and then defects didn’t seem so annoying.
i have even started laser removal for one of them that I continued to regret.  I don’t recommend this method unless you have tons of extra cash, are good with horrible pain and don’t mind taking a couple years to complete the process.  I’m an open book on this experience so feel free to shoot me a message with any questions.
ultimatley, most of this tends to come down to temperament.  I tend to be the type of person who second guesses even what I order for dinner, of course I’m going to have difficulty adjusting to a tattoo.  That is until I have enough that each one doesn’t matter as much, which is where I’m at right now.  Now I go for the fun of getting one, to add to a spot, and/or to collect from an artist I’m super pumped about.  Before I had too much focus on the specific design and nothing was ever perfect enough.
 

Firstly, some pics would help people understand what you're dealing with.  Secondly, you're doing this to yourself.  Take a deep breath and stop obsessing over it.  It takes a while to get used to a big change, relax and try to just ignore it for a few weeks.  It just a tattoo.
