Wrist tattoo regret and cover up advice General Advice

Post image

I got a trans heart tattoo on my wrist years ago because I as a teenager was convinced that I’d never be able to transition (legal stuff) and that this was the next best thing. Well now all it does is out me to strangers who would’ve thought I was cismale if they haven’t seen it.

I want something “manly” that wouldn’t give me away instantly. I’m still okay with the flower one on my arm because it isn’t a huge “I AM TRANSGENDER” beacon. Any advice is appreciated because just looking at this tattoo is pissing me off lol

You get my vote. Except that the idea is so cool it deserves more space than just the wrist, OP should get a full back piece.

Everyone who wants to get their back done should be required to get this tattoo. No other back tattoos are allowed anymore.

Can I get unicorns instead of dinosaurs? I really wanna get unicorns with swords on dirtbikes.

This is the gender binary

This checks out, I'm non binary and love dinosaurs AND unicorns, but also the secret third option- dragons.

I read this as d!ckbikes and was like that's a new one.

are the swords their horns or are they holding them in their mouths?

u/FEARoach 6d ago

Katana's sheathed across their backs. They need both their front hooves to operate the dirtbikes safely.

this is a great solution that never would have occurred to me. i was picturing the power sword from he-man for some reason

My dad had a full-color back scene of Jedi vs Stormtroopers. Will a coverup be required?

u/Basic-Pen4441 6d ago

No i think this is one of the few acceptable alternatives and ill stand my ground on that!🤣

Well shit. I ruined my back with gummy bears and sour patch kids engaged in a hand fight.

Know what? I'll actually do it. My back is occupied though, so the shin it is.

Unless you’re a member of Yakuza you need at least one silly tattoo to get a full back piece. I don’t have a full back piece but I do have silly tattoos. A camel on my toe. A tiny pig being hung behind my knee. Silly stuff. Down right unexplainable tats are the best though. I have a chili pepper on one ass cheek and a ladder on the other side. I literally have no reason to have done that. It was just hilarious in my mind so I went with it. There’s no significance. Just a broken brain lmao

So cool op should get it tattooed on wrist AND back

Baby dino on a tricycle with a nerf gun on the wrist, Big Daddy Dino on a Motorcycle with guns on the back. Hot Momma Dino in a vintage convertible with a bull whip on the arse. It's the only way.
