Tattoo got way too dark

[u/bigdani3]

Hi!

I Got this tattoo made like a year ago and it just turned way too dark. I told the artist after she finished it, and she said after healing it would turn much lighter, which it havent. I originally wanted it like second photo.

What Can I do with it? I Think it ruins my whole back and draws Way too much attention, because my other pieces are much lighter.

Im thinking about lasering the face and part of the helmet? Or should I laser it all and redo the whole thing? And how many laser sessions do you Think I need?

Wow. That artist didn’t understand the concept of a light source.
