Hi :) I've also just gotten a new tattoo and am completely new to tattoos in general so am quite ignorant, however this is what one of my tattooed friend told me before I got mine: regret is part of the journey. There are always going to be moments when you feel like "oh shit, what have I done" but just embrace it and move on. I personally think it's F***ing cool that you went out and got yourself tattooed: it's brave, it's unique and it's an experience. Worst case scenario you can always have it removed, but if I were you I would enjoy it for the time being :)

Good on you @BeHappy! You sound like you are starting to plan your next one. :) @MonkeyKetchup You need to give yourself time to adjust. Give yourself at least three months before you do make any decisions. Laser removal sucks, takes time (I'm on my 7th treatment over the last year) , hurts and is expensive. I like to say that tattoos are like marriages. They are a lot easier to get into than get out of. Happy healing and welcome.

Friend....it's way too early to start thinking about adding or covering up. Enjoy it as is for at least three months. Breathe. :) It's cool! Maybe think about another, different tattoo in a different place OR not getting another tattoo until you've processed how you feel. Give yourself some time. Do not, I repeat, do NOT make any decisions for at least a few months. Please. :)

thanks Dan :)

Thank you

Phew! Definitely way more portrait shots to bounce off each other for consideration, and a lot more options. Plus a nice road trip and the chance to see friends doesn't hurt either. Glad you could check out more places.

Seriously. Chill. Please? Don't cover up a perfectly fine piece of work. Just leave it for a while. Also, if you are this uptight about a tiny tattoo, maybe don't get another one for a while? You need to learn to live with this one.

I felt the need for a solar plexus tattoo too, but I do hope to be skipping about naked at 80, well, if I fancy it. The standard underboob placement was never going to be optimal on me, I've never had the right sort of breasts. So, my tattoo comes up and onto to solar plexus, rather than being placed around it, if you see what I mean. It ends just, just under the band of my bra/bikini. But, I'd say, with breasts like you describe @TrixieFaux, it's not boob saggage that's a potential issue with this placement, that's never going to mess things up too much. Rather, it's the way the underboob placement tends increases the visibility of the natural asymmetry of the breasts (that all women have). That asymmetry does become more apparent as the breast softens with age and reproduction even if there isn't significant sagging. Even on the very young, pert, instagram chests I've more than often seen the placement emphasise the asymmetry, making the tattoo look slightly wonky even though, technically speaking it is perfectly centered etc. which is a shame. With mine being designed and placed as it is my breasts (when roaming free) actually look more symetrical than they did before, rather than less. Which is nice. I've posted it on latest tattoo lowdown already but here it is again. - - - Updated - - - With asymetry, I mean the often subtle differences in roots of the breasts, rather than the slight differences in size and shape between the breasts (which we are usually aware of). The differences in height of the base of the breast and the precise distance from the from the center of the breast bone to the root of the breast can be pretty much imperceptible on a lot of women, until you place something that is utterly symmetrical in between and under them...
