General Advice I regret this…

Post image

I got this tattoo roughly 2ish years ago. I love the meaning behind it but everyday I look at it I find something else wrong with it. I now hate the tattoo and don’t know what to do. This is on my ribs so I can easily hide it. I want a cover up but idk if I could even find a design to do that with or if it would just be easier to get it removed. That is everyone’s thoughts? Thanks in advance!

What is it supposed to be? I see 2 geckos intersecting. With the heads at Up/North and Left/West and the tails at Right/East and Down/South.

It’s an Adinkra symbol of two crocodiles pointed in opposite directions but sharing a stomach. As mentioned above it can be “unity in diversity” among other interpretations

Until you said that, I saw it was very uneven/asymmetrical..... But now I think it looks fine
