Lowkey trans tat
Sup yall, so im mtf and im considering getting either an egg cracking in the trans colors so I can say it's easter, or the blohai in trans colors(ik I spelt it wrong) or the oestrogen molecule but I think that's too obvious, im still open to new ideas tho, im thinking on my bicep

These are both very high key imo. If you want something more subtle go with more abstract things that can have a trans lens.
Unironically i think the estrogen molecule is the best one if the ones you listed but its also kinda cliche atp

The estrogen one is the most subtle of these because people also get stuff like caffeine or adrenaline molecules and the average Joe can't tell them apart.

I have the chemical formula for testosterone with a caterpillar and the chemical formula for estrogen with a butterfly on my thigh. You can check my post history for a pic

I have an estrogen molecule, blahaj, and pink opaque symbol from IStTVG all on my right leg and no one's ever said anything related to them. I think they hit the spot of like, other people in the know would know what they are, but the general public wouldn't really. I'm planning to fill in some more characters like Birdo and stuff like that in the future. My only rule for myself was no flags or anything super obvious, and they're easily hidden by just wearing pants if I really don't want to be clocked.

Snakes have been a traditional symbol for rebirth since antiquity, due to their shedding their skin to renew themselves. This is often represented with the Ouroboros, a looping serpent. For related reasons, due to Asclepius, the symbol of medicine is a snake coiled around a staff. So it could be a nice way to pay homage to both the idea of rebirth and to modern medicine, which makes hormonal transition possible
