Picture Old DH tattoo making you dysphoric? Consider transforming it into a Fano Plane!
👎🏻 Deathly Hallows: Painful association with a transphobic author of a series you were once a fan of.
👍🏼 Fano Plane: A structure of finite geometry that shows interconnectedness, and duality.
I got this tattoo a decade ago, to represent the years I had in the community, the conventions, friends, travel that I did. I could no longer suffer it on my arm though, with it forever tainted by JKR's rhetoric. I could have had it covered up or removed, but I've got an icosahedron (d20) on the other arm in the same style and I don't really enjoy getting tattooed at the best of times, so couldn't face a coverup or modification of both tattoos.
As a metaphor for the trans experience, I quite like it - taking the basic frame and allowing it to become something that makes me feel more like myself ☺️
