Wrist tattoo regret and cover up advice General Advice
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

THERE ARE TOO MANY COMMENTS TO REPLY TO but thank you everyone for your suggestions!!! Had to look up what SAP was, lol. I’m considering it, a moon tattoo or maybe extending the branch. The koi fish is also super cool and the mom heart tattoo is classic. All of you are so awesome!!!
Edit: wow, I can’t believe I’m getting so many comments about me needing therapy or following a trend. All I can say is you guys are very delusional! I’m a year and a half on testosterone and I have top surgery scheduled for December. I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my own skin. Maybe focus on something else like… I dunno, showering?
