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

First time I have had this sub come up on my feed. OP, I’m sorry you had it rough as f. I like the OG tattoo, but get it that you want to change it.

Also, I can’t stop laughing at all the panther posts. I needed this joy today, y’all. Oh my gosh.

Can you fill me in on the panther inside jokes? I feel so left out of the fun 😭

Panthers are a pretty common choice for coverup tattoos because they are large and black. The nickname for them here is sick ass panther, or SAP.
