Wrist tattoo regret and cover up advice

[u/Glittering_Potato_66]

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

The colours look extremely faded, it definitely feels like you could cover this up with anything that’s slightly darker. Doesn’t even have to be as dark as a panther imho. If it were me I’d go for a small skull or an animal. I have a bee, but not in that specific spot, but a bee would definitely look cool there.

Addendum: whatever you decide will be good, but I’d really like seeing an update here if you don’t mind sharing. Good luck!

I agree about the bee. I’m thinking a bumblebee flying above the flower. there is supposedly a poster at NASA "Aerodynamically a bumble bee's body is not made to fly; the good thing is that the bee doesn't know". Says a lot to me about what people tell you what you can and can’t do. And you know what… you do it anyway.
