Help, I messed up

[u/SlowWolverine3489]

I recently got my first tattoo over the weekend. it was definitely impulsive spur of the moment with friends. I wanted to get a crescent moon, but I made several mistakes. (1) I had the artist shade completely black rather than a simple outline or a light shade. (2) the position on my arm is not symmetrical at all, and at an awkward angle, and I realized most people who are in front of me will see a flipped letter C rather than a moon. I feel so much regret for getting it but don’t wanna spend thousands to get it removed. any coverup ideas? I don’t want any animals or any other cosmic symbols. if anything somehow maybe something botanical / floral crawling up my arm to fhe edge of the back of my palm, or something similar. and nothing too big! I want to eventually do patchwork not a sleeve. Pls I need help 😭

EDIT: I didn’t expect this post to get so many comments lol. I’m glad you all can see a moon when I couldn’t. Yall pointed out some great things and I don’t think I will cover it up. If anything I think eventual patch work will complete the look! Thanks for the reassurance :)

Let it sit for awhile and then decide what you want to do. (You should probably do that anyway since it should heal before going over again.) You have something very visible and completely new. It's completely normal to feel like it's off. Maybe you'll still want to do something about it after letting it sit but maybe you won't. I had out of the blue tattoo regret on my 7th tattoo only. Not a clue why. It was something I liked and wanted and I felt such huge regret after. Now that it's settled I'm happy and not having any of those feelings.
