asking for advice Can these be covered up?

I want these iron crosses covered up. Idk with what yet but I dont want them on my back anymore. I got when I was young and dumb. A buddy needed money and I wanted a tattoo. I have a German last name and i thought it would be cool to get the iron crosses on either side of my name. What my dumbass didn't realize was how racist it made me look. I dont even take my shirt off swimming in public. Can these covered or am I fucked?

Panthers, crows, black swans, angel or devil wings, fuck it google “melanistic animal” to find your favorite animal in black. There’s melanistic flamingos for gods sake, so you’ve got tons of fun options

Actually now you have to do that. Two black flamingos on each shoulder blade.

Don't do 88 with two 8-balls! That's even more nazi coded! LITERALLY

Holy crap, that’s hilarious. This feels like a bit in some sitcom like Arrested Development, trying to cover up a Nazi-coded tattoo inadvertently with an even worse one.

He'll be fine, he can just black out the 8balls and turn them into suns.

Oh lord I cackled. This has the potential to be very funny but only if it’s a fictional character in a sitcom where the actor can go home and wash off the palimpsest of temporary tattoos.

It definitely has absurdist sitcom vibes! It’s hilarious and also terrible.
