Hey all, so about 6 months ago I was fairly depressed about many different things going on in my life, and i decided to get a tattoo on my chest. I chose a fairly long quote, about 30 words or so, and placed it on my left pec. Since it is a long quote I had to split it up into sessions, and the artist finished the first half of the quote. Then the artist went on vacation for a few weeks and I was left with half a tattoo for awhile. As things are going better in my life, I have started to really regret getting the tattoo in the first place. Actually it started as regret and now I am even more depressed than I was before. I have been looking into laser removal, however this just saddens me more as it is expensive and takes a long time. Now I am depressed because summer is approaching and I half this half a quote on my chest with no good explanation to why I won't finish it besides that I no longer want it. My question is if I decide to go through with laser removal, do i look stupid in people's eyes for getting something that I immediately do not want and that is not even finished? I feel like I ruined my life and I have no self esteem anymore. Does my indecisiveness make me less attractive to women as I attempt to remove something I just got? I know I should not care what others think, but I just feel like this half tattoo just shows the world I am not confident in myself. idk, any advise or commentary would be appreciated.
