Hi all,I've been looking through this forum for 3 weeks now, ever since I got my latest tattoo. My third one. I had been researching the design for years and went to an amazing artist, so when I showed up to my appointment, I was nervous but felt committed. I went in not really knowing where I would have it placed yet. My tattoo artist was incredibly patient with me, and for that I am grateful. I decided to get it on my right thigh/on the side - really close to the knee.I love the design of my tattoo - it's beautiful - but I regret placing it where it is. I wish I had it put it higher on my thigh. The tattoo artist kept suggesting for it to be higher but I was set on having it somewhat visible. I thought this way I could wear shorts or a skirt and have it show, but now that it's on me, I want nothing more than for it to be higher up. I'm realizing that it's more visible than I wanted it to be and it seems a bit out of place, floating in the middle of my leg. I am so mad that I didn't trust the artist and his recommendation for placement. If only, if only, if only ....I've already thought about going back and adding something to it higher up, but I don't think that's going to make me feel any better. I've also looked at the removal photos and procedures but I think I'm terrified of it going wrong, and I do love the design so I don't think removing it is the answer.I'm driving my boyfriend crazy because I just sit in silence and look through forums on my phone. I want to just move on and learn to love my tattoo but I have anxiety and tend to be a perfectionist, so I am really struggling with letting go. I've tried on various outfits but get upset that certain dress lengths now just look funny on me.I think the only solution is for me to accept where it is on my body and learn to love it. Does anyone have any advice on how I can do that? I'm trying to focus on the aspects that I am grateful for - love the design and meaning, my artist was patient and understanding - but I just keep going back in time and wishing I had asked him to place it higher, like he suggested. Or I wish I could go back in time, and just say no to the tattoo in general. I feel like I should have known better.Any advice is so very appreciated. This community seems like an awesome and understanding group of people.
