Would I be able to pass shirtless if i got a chest tattoo?

Hi everyone

I had top surgery a few years ago and have been on T like 11 years now, i am greatful my scars are so faint but I really want to have them fully covered. That was the plan, but as time goes on I worry more and more my nipples look extremely weird or are too large, as well as they have obvious scarring around them and idk, just the more i look the more uneasy i feel about them

Same thing with my hips, sometimes i feel okay but I also do feel like shirtless my pelvis is just too wide and obviously not male. I am also like 5'3 which does not help. I worry people would just know no matter what i do

so yeah just looking for others input, if you got your chest tattooed how do you feel or anything else i could do to hopefully be able to pass shirtless. I want to start going to the gym but life is just really busy

Attempt at makeup

Hello, this is related from my previous and first post on that subreddit,

As I took into consideration tips from other men under my previous post, I cut my hair a little to give it more sharp/masc look, but still wanted to keep my longer back so I cut just a bit there and mainly trimmed front and back (I used to be an hairdresser), I wanted to keep my hair just little bit longer to be able to put them into mohawk,

Considering some opinions about my piercing, I decided to switch them up a bit, especially my nostrils, as I often saw cis alt guys having spikes rather than hoops + I changed my bridge to spikes and made it more minimal so it won't be as big on my face.

In these pictures, I just filled my eyebrows with some colour, as my natural ones aren't as thick/dark + I naturally have prominent cheek bones so I gave them little lift with bronzer.

Also, on first picture I'm wearing my DIY vest I'm working on (it's not finished so I'll take some suggestions), and I like the silhouette it gives me.

Also I'd like to ask for some tips/opinion or suggestions for shirts etc. As I have severe dysphoria over my chest, and I always fear how from the from everyone can tell I have an chest + I'm very insecure about my arms, they're thin and frail because I'm taking really strong meds (for cancer/leukemia) and it makes me lose weight rapidly, so would love some suggestions on how to hide them better + make my naturally broader shoulders more visible.

Also if some of you guys know good exercises without equipment and gym membership for entire upper body, I'd love to hear them 🫶.

Last picture is little awkward, as it's mainly here to show my face with mentioned boosts under better lighting.

TLDR; Share your opinion on my passing/or lack of it and I would love some suggestions for clothes and upper body exercises.

Hoping to start t my senior year.

I know I probably don't pass but I was wondering if you guys could give me advice. Thanks

u/AttentionSeekinFreak — 6 hours ago

Not sure if I pass at all in any capacity. On T for about 4 months now.

A lot of people tell me that my glasses make my face look more feminine, but I don't have insurance right now and can't get new frames or lenses. I just got a haircut and I'm feeling euphoric right now.

I've noticed that when I'm in public, people just don't use gendered terms anymore. They used to when I was pre T, but now I never get sir or ma'am. I also want to know if it would be safe for me to use the men's restroom in public. I have before and I didn't receive so much as a glance.

Did I nuke myself with these glasses

Ordered them online with impact resistant lenses for the gym because I’m a clumsy dumbass and the frames are way more curved irl than I expected. Friends say they’re fine but I feel like I look butch and/or 14

u/Strange_Repeat9285 — 20 hours ago

Was feeling pretty good about passing but I've gotten mam'd a couple times this week.

Pretty much the title. Was pretty much always getting sir for a while but got mam a few times recently. Am I not passing as well as I thought? and what can I do to come off more masc?

Dysphoria

I really REALLY need to know if I'm passing even in smallest way, like honest opinion...

Dysphoria is really killing me inside, I often fear I don't have passing at all (I don't like wearing makeup much) because my chest and hips are naturally slightly bigger, I bind but I always fear everyone just sees me as an woman.

I fear refering to myself as "he" in public settings, not even mentioning going to the men's restrooms, because I have 0 idea how I'm perceived, so - as an broke, in homophobic household, 21 yr old man I need some opinions and advices on passing/what could I do (makeup, clothing, hairwise) to make myself appear more masc.

I fear every smallest thing in my body or on my face looks feminine, so that's why these pictures aren't the best (i simply hate taking pics of myself), but I simply wish to know how to make myself more comfortable.

- Also, can't get a job for hormonal therapy and needed psychiatrist follow ups rn, which fucking sucks, but yeah... I wish some of you guys could help struggling young man out, every bit of advice/opinion will be detrimental for me rn. 😭

19, year and a half on t

i know i don't pass the best, but if you saw me on the street, what would you assume? i included some concert wear where i was expecting bigger lights, so i have makeup (pic 3)
generally speaking i have a more binary masculine style, but id like to pass when im wearing slightly more fem stuff too

ill be getting top surgery in dec, but any tips for passing other than that?

edit ^ *hopefully* getting top surgery in dec, thats the plan but either way its in the works bc thats one of the big things (pun intended) working against me rn

edit 2 : im also wondering whether i would be seen as male inside the mens restroom
also im gay, so idm being a bit more fem, bc i want to pass as a gay man not a straight one lol

Haircut suggestions por favor

l i have such such bad luck with hair cuts constantly - i don’t know what is appropriate for my face shape. I’d prefer something with some length to it, but I think I am open to whatever. I don’t know shit abt hair cut terminology so pictures would be appreciated! Any help is mega appreciated thanks homies 💪🏻

Reconsidering revision for top surgery results

I recently had periaeolar surgery, about 8 months ago. However, I feel like the skin is too loose and it makes me feel like my chest doesn't pass.

I wanna see what u guys think and see if it really doesn't pass or if it's just my dysphoria playing a trick on me.

There's a relaxed pose, a flexed pose and from the sides.

Passing?

A little over 2 months on T, not a ton of changes. I feel like smiling makes me look super feminine/not passing. Passing tips and guessing my age would be great also

u/WasabiPhysical7276 — 1 day ago

Haircut advice

I posted here a few days ago. My current hair style makes me look more butch. I'm 18 and 6 months on T. The first photo is with my hair wet and slicked back to show my face shape more. The second is my current hair which makes my forehead look smaller. What hairstyle should I go for next?

which haircut should i get

hey so

i (21ftm) started transitioning like 6 years ago but i still feel like i haven't found my perfect haircut. i really like modcut but my hair is super straight and thin and makes it difficult to style. i really like kinda volumous and textured messy hair (not long hair tho, just using the short hair to make volume from it). don't really like it looking like a helmet but it seems the one that fits my face mostly. these are my most recent cuts (the first pic is from today). if you guys have any suggestions of hair styles i could get, i'd appreciate it sm :)
