Thinking of getting something like this. I like it

Messaged a couple of artists with proper portfolios. Most said this could easily be done. One studio does the design right before the actual tattooing which makes me a bit anxious but they'll reply back to me to check internally if the design is even doable. Another studio I have an appointment for is to check if the cover up works in the first place and to talk design.

I can't stand my tattoo at all. I don't know why I got it and I feel so unbelievably ashamed. It's the dumbest tattoo idea you can have: an abbreviation on your most visible body part in a font no one can read. Welp. It completely ruined my life right now. I have so many friends and most probably wonder wtf this is and will wonder wtf I got a cover up right away. I'm too scared to go out and go to university even. This is the biggest mistake I've ever made (which honestly doesn't sound that bad considering it's just a tattoo).

Can't wait to have my first appointments and talk about the design. I want this tattoo gone.

Thing is.. I like snake tattoos, I think they look awesome, but I have no real thing for snakes. And I wonder if they're like a lion for some people (kinda cringe tattoo?). But I can't think of any other cover up, I only like black and white tattoos and no huge full forearm ones but mainly smaller tattoos. The snake seems like the best option for me.

I'm thinking of adding a Goliath beetle and other insects to this arm once summer's over. Thing is, I hate insects but my biggest wish is to learn to have them crawl on me. And a pegasus on my upper arm, so I'll have a little zoo.

Still regret my tattoo. I constantly get weird looks and get asked what 'tom ind' means. I always have to explain that it's from my favorite song and that it has a personal meaning to me. I don't want to do that for the rest of my life though. Was I stupid? Yes.

I'm into animals & plants & funny tattoos. Thought of covering one row with an orca with lots of black parts? The other with.. Not sure yet. Maybe a long blacked out dachshund?

Also thought of a snake that goes down from my upper arm to my lower arm that slithers across each row of letters once but the anatomy will be off and it'd have to be shaded a lot which I'm not a huge fan of actually. I actually went to an artist yesterday who said we'll pull it off but I'm not too certain about it.

Also thought of it only slithering across the top row and to turn the bottom row into 'find'... Not sure what to find though.

Don't want my entire inner forearm tattooed with a single design but would rather prefer something that takes up as little space as possible so that I can get more tattoos next to it.

I would greatly appreciate your help! Thanks so much.

I posted on r/tattooadvice yesterday and you might've seen my tattoo. I'm still thinking about getting it covered up some day and am already wondering if you were able to come up with some ideas.

I thought of a snake like above. Maybe give it a detailed body and a goody comicy face. I'll definitely go to a tattoo artist and get some ideas from them but am wondering if you were able to come up with some as well.

Thank you all

I got this tattoo from a dude on insta a few days ago. I had the idea in mind, messaged him, minimal contact from his part, no consulting or anything. It's supposed to say 'tdw ind', which means 'the dream where I never died', which is one of my favorite songs and I generally like the fact that I now live the dream where I never died, cause I was close to ending my life a few times in the past.

Went to him, he has the stencil ready, put it on my arm, was generally super chill with everything and was like let's do it. I wanted it smaller (luckily I did) and he almost talked me out of it. 2 people I knew were there as well and said it looks great and I felt so pressured into getting it done right then and there. I was happy in the moment but also stressed out and gave in but now I regret it for many reasons.

One, you can't properly read it. It's the font from the album but it looks bad. I'm thinking of getting two small lines in the W so it at least doesn't look like an M too much (Pic 2). Two, people will forever ask me what it means and I didn't think of that. Don't wanna have to tell a big story all the time. Three, I would've preferred it somewhere else, maybe my upper arm.

All in all, 100% my fault. I fully get that. Life lesson I guess. I hate myself so much for it right now. My therapist told me to calm down which I'm trying to do but yeah. I struggle with impulsivity and should've asked others for advice but I didn't.

I'm thinking of getting a cover up some day. Thought of a snake that goes down my arm (Pic 3). Any other ideas? I really want to force me to get more advice from people rather than decide on things on my own so please let me know what you think.

Thanks a lot :)
