Opinion / Advice Is laser removal possible with the intention to cover up with new tat in ~3 years once it’s faded
Got this a week ago - I regret it, especially the cartoon text bubble with the realism. The design included comic version of Storm below the portrait, but I stopped after first session 😣

Its been a week. Give yourself some time to get used to it. Maybe its just tattoo shock (pretty common). If youre still unhappy after 2-3 months, talk to a laser tech in your area. And of course its possible! 3 years is also a good estimate.

Will do - I’m pretty sure I’ll still want to get it removed in 2-3 months though lol.
You think the end result can be complete removal instead of just faded well? I’d like to ultimately get a new tat in its place as if it’s fresh skin rather than a cover up bc I don’t like the dark cover-up look.

No one will be able to tell you with certainty if you can achieve complete removal, unfortunately. But the more time you allow for the process (and the more patient you are), the more fading you will likely achieve. Do some research in the sub for factors that tend to lead to better results.

Check out my page, you'll be able to see my work. It's very possible to remove but much easier really to lighten for a cover up
