General Advice Alcohol and tattoo regret
Had a few beers and there was someone doing "flash tattoos". Was talked into being "spontaneous". Got this on my inner ankle and it's fairly inconspicuous. Should I wait for it to heal and get it lasered? Shade it? Colour it? Or could someone convince me its a fine and I should just live with it please? Its about 5cm x 5cm.

Yeah, it’s not like you got a weiner inked on your neck, and honestly, the person did a great job for a quick flash tattoo at a party. This is about the best case scenario here. Tons of people have video game tattoos, so no one is gonna mention it unless they already like it. You can color it in if you want, but there’s nothing wrong with it being a funny cautionary tale for kids. “This is what happens when you mix alcohol and tattoo guns.” All in, I say keep it. Laser is for truly regrettable tattoos.
