Recently I was in negotiations with a company after getting an offer. During the initial call of this interview process I was given a number that I was quite happy with, so when offer time came around I assumed I'd get something close to this number, accept and be done with it. Turns out the actual offer was much lower than I expected and I was not prepared for this. The reason for the lower offer was the differential between the needs of the position and my current skill set. Nonetheless they said I showed potential.
Anyways, me and the recruiter go back and forth trying to figure something out. I was mainly trying to get back to the initial number I was teased with but no cigar. As a final resort I gave the min number it would take for me to move and they were unable to reach it. I had no leverage except for the fact that I currently have a job and salary is not that much different than whats being offered. The company would be an upgrade with respect to stature though.
After thinking over the decision I made. I regret taking an absolute, ultimatum approach during my effort to ask for more. At this point I wish I would of closed, so I have been considering emailing the recruiter and letting them know that I would be happy to take the offer if it was still open and they were still open to the idea. I understand that this is wishy washy, which is why I am here asking for advice. My basic question is: if for some reason they are okay with me going back after closing negotiations, how bad will this stain my character if I work there? Is this a terrible look? I don't really care how I'll look if they decline, but worried about the situation where they accept.

There's little reason to worry about the situation where they accept. If they consider it a particularly big stain, they wouldn't hire you.

For your direct question: of course you're free to change your mind and in the worst case they'll just say no (maybe because they already extended an offer to the second best).
HOWEVER you will gain the required skillset but you won't ever get the money they initially offered because you will go through the normal salary increases starting from a much lower base.
Unless you really NEED to change job then you should carefully think about what you're doing.
One reasonable compromise is to ask a written agreement to review your salary after 6 months if you will meet all required skills. Of course you have to trust them on this and, in my humble opinion, you will need to work hard and (maybe) be ready to walk away but:
- You "save the face" and they won't think you just thrown an high number but you were ready to accept much less.
- Show that you really value their company.
- Have a chance to have salary aligned with your role.
- Show that you know your value and potential.
- You're ready to commit to a task, assume your responsibilities and work to fulfill a goal.
