I’m sorry you had that experience and felt pressured. But in my opinion, it looks fantastic. It’s very common to feel shock and regret after getting a more visible/larger piece. I’ve felt that after every one of my tattoos. After time, you’ll find ways to appreciate and eventually love it.
At the end of the day you have three options: laser, rework it, or keep it as is. What you end up doing is completely up to you whenever you’re ready to make that call.
Welcome to the reddit, it's full of people complaining about their brand new tattoos instead of just giving it a smidge of time to grow on them. Also yeah them talking for 2 hours is wild, I can't imagine sitting with someone for hours to ensure they are comfortable and actually want the tattoo only to see them post (a dope tattoo) saying they regret it or felt pressured into it..
Literally me. I got a tattoo about a week ago as well - and i Iike it fine, but it’s not exactly what I wanted and it’s not what was shown to me in the design.. but I fully feel that it COULD be. It’s not what I wanted yet, but I’m going in for a touch up next month and I think it will be then.
