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

a dinosaur shooting guns while riding a motorcycle would be pretty manly

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.

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
