Disgusted with my tattoo but don't think I can face the pain of laser

I was an impulsive kid who didn't think she'd live long enough to regret her tattoos. I'd remove them all but there's one in particular I hate. The artist just did a bad job. He went so deep too... but I'm too scared of the pain of removal. I don't know why local anesthetic isn't more common, they don't seem to have it at all where I live (Montreal). Why not?? Wouldn't it be a good business idea? I'd pay so much for it. I don't care about the needles!

Everyone on the internet says laser tattoo removal is the most painful thing they ever experienced, even in comparison to childbirth...

My most painful experiences: getting my IUD inserted, I have a big inner/upper thigh tattoo that hurt like hell too, I had dry socket which was so painful oxy couldn't even numb it, period cramps, TMJ pain...

It's making me depressed. My mom was right. Shouldn't have gotten tattoos. I just want to hear people tell me laser isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be on the internet, but don't wana be fed lies either. Idk. :(
