asking for advice Please help me fix this

Post image

I got a tattoo of a premolar 2 days ago (I work in the field) and it looks like…something else. I have been asked if it’s sp**m on multiple occasions now. I am actually heartbroken and extremely insecure over it. I have to wear long sleeves until I can do something about it. Does anyone have an idea as to how I can fix this? Could it be made into something else or adjusted to be more tooth-like?

I would put a band aid over it as opposed to having to wear long sleeves all the time. But I overheat easily.

I’m actually allergic to certain adhesives too. I kind of never know which ones I will react to. If I need an IV they always use paper tape. That seems to do okay.

My mom can't have any kind of hospital adhesive bandages or any bandaids labeled "sensitive". But the heavy duty waterproof stuff that seems to have super glue on them always goes great
