Well i did something very stupid today.
Ive only been here for 3 days cause i had to accept my feelings.
I'm not transitioned.
Last week i pierced my ears for no reason cause i had to, then i shaved my legs..
But yet i'm still in denial.
I have a tattoo machine and i wrote i am a girl with the girl "sign" under it.
Its located on my arm....
Yeahh so what should i do when its summer or whatever... can i remove it or something...
Might be a good time to go "full time"! *giggle* Sorry, couldn't resist. Uh, those are pretty permanent.
create a tattoo around it that is acceptable?
Two options- laser or cover up.
And step away from the tattoo needle, please. Put it away for safe keeping.
Well ive allready taken care of the wonderfull peace maker... it wont be able to do that again...
I am kinda scared about this cause will a laser not leave any mark or wont completely fade it...
And how expensive is that im 19 years old and still got alot of finance with my parents...
I know a bit about tattoo's and iknow this cant be covered up unless its my full arm.
yea. i really dont know >.<
Make a saying like "I am a woman XXX" where XXX is ->-bleeped-<-, lover, a symbol such as a heart or even a penis. Get something there.
Put a man symbol beside the woman symbol.
I believe you should start to talk with a gender therapist. They will help you sort things out. The ear piercing and leg shaving, that happens. Don't worry.

or you can have strong put under the 'i am a' part. that way it would be like i am a strong girl.. or.. i dont know if you watch the bad girls club.. but you can put the bad girls symbol there also.. or just bad.
For the short term until you can have your tattoo lasered or embellished... you can try dermablend. It's a pain to use but I've known a few folks who use it to cover tats up for work.
You can get a small cover-up tattoo, no problem. Unless it's huge, then you're right, you'll need something more extensive unless you put a butterfly/star/etc. over each letter. Seems almost like you were, subconsciously, trying to make it impossible for you to not transition, though - which could be a good thing. A tattoo that says "I am a girl" would really call attention to your trans status though. :-\
Just say you skate on Girl skate-boards if you like they are a professional skate board deck.
Or just come out, not sure what to tell you.
I'm not sure if the OP is still around, but if so, maybe a photograph of the tattoo would help everyone collectively come up with an idea :) Whilst I've not got any tattoos myself, I've seen some pretty creative coverup jobs and I dare say there are some very artistic people here who have some great ideas on how to help you.
All the best.
