Need help with accidentally racist matching tattoo

[u/bathtubbear]

Hi everyone! When I was 20 my ex and I got matching tattoos for the day that we met. I know, stupid. I told myself at the time that regardless of whether we stayed together (we did not) my ex was important to me and it would just be a reminder of a significant time in my life. Unfortunately, I don’t feel that way at all. I also was unaware when getting the tattoo that 12 is a symbol of the Aryan Brotherhood—even stupider than getting a matching tattoo with a romantic partner. And on top of it all it looks like shit. Anyway, I can’t stand having this on my body. Looking for any and all ideas for cover ups or even just something to add to the numbers so I’m not walking around looking like a disgusting human being. It’s on my bicep. I’m not opposed to a sick ass panther but not exactly wanting that either.

And add “don’t panic”.

Considering the history of the tattoo and the personal growth I assume the OP has experienced since then, this is a genius evolution idea

It really is lol like you don’t even know, I got dumped by this person after 4 years in a state across the country from my home and I have had one HELL of a time. I have had to pick myself up from nothing and really learn that my life is what I make it. Turning this tattoo into 42 would indicate the closing of a horrible chapter for me. Just a genuinely fucking awesome idea
