Blue portal instead?
This is just an indicator for people who don't think before they speak. Because if you do, you'd realize that it looks nothing like a swastika. Maybe your brain got duped (hopefully only for a moment) by an abundance of images like this:
Which, incidentally, means NO nazis.
Me trying to non-chalantly ascertain if the lady next to me on the bus is a nazi or not
peripheral vision is not very clear and I can certainly see why people would do a double take. And if it were me, I'd rather that people don't need to do a double take to see if I'm nazi or not.
Just get a swastika tattoo right next to it so that people can see the difference between the two.
Genius
Now, that's using 100% of your brain.
Make the portal more saturated and cover up the back lower leg with it.
"I thought it was a swastika."
"I thought you had a brain and functioning eyes."
I'm great at making friends.
That was my first thought. Use it as a filter:
Maybe it's a conversation starter.
Maybe it's an intelligence test for the person asking.
Reminds me of those nazis that aren't even able to draw one properly.
Who wants to be friends with people that can't think or play portal? Na, nothing wrong with you.
Thank god im not the only one
Add a blue portal below it with a person coming out who doesn't look at all like a swastika, maybe?
Should be the other side of the neck
My guess is thats exactly what they have right now
Except that if someone only sees the one side it doesn’t help the problem.

A blue portal instead of an orange portal would've gone a long way here
The blue portal is probably on the other side of the neck...
Could be worse. She could have got a Final Fantasy Cactuar tattoo.
Was also going to mention this. As much as I think cactuar is a fun monster, I will never be able to bring myself to get merch of them, because of that shape.
Oh man, I looked some up out of curiosity and you're right. I'd do a double-take if I saw them in the wild.
I like cactus
Grow a bigger ear.
I'm assuming you have the blue circle on the other side of your neck try to make the orange one more orange
Aww man, it's a cool idea, just badly executed.
That’s just what the guy looks like though.
I wouldn't even say badly executed as it looks exactly as it should for portal.
Just change the ring to blue so it stand out more.
For the good of all of us
except the ones who are dead
But there's no sense crying over every mistake...
She wasnt thinking with portals
I remember seeing a set of earrings with this exact motif. Should have just worn those.
The funniest thing about this is the post title IMO
LMAO. The amount of replies giving advice...
Can't kill the instinct to come to rescue in such a tragic case
Right, as if this is posted as OC. It's like people clapping after seeing a movie in the theater
sad projectionist noises
3 arrows down and to the left
I have a rule of thumb: no tattoos above the base of the neck. Although how I'd execute my portal love might be weirder... maybe a relevant portal safety sign tramp stamp.
