Tattoo anxiety? I've have a small butterfly on my lower back/hip area for 5 years now but for some reason I've started getting anxious about it.

I loved it back then and it does have a lot of meaning to me.  Its only been about 2 years ago that I developed anxiety issues and a year ago that I got anxious about the tattoo.  I tend to get a grip on the anxiety and manage it then it comes back.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm freaking out and having panic attacks that I can't just "take it off" there and then and that its there for years unless I pay to get it removed.  I don't know whats wrong with me.

Could I be misplacing my anxiety about other things onto the tattoo?  I'm very happy in life at the moment.

Maybe I'm freaking out because I'm stuck with the tat for now and its up to me to calm myself down. Could I be testing myself??

Any ideas appreciated :)
