Just get a swastika tattoo right next to it so that people can see the difference between the two.

"I thought it was a swastika."
"I thought you had a brain and functioning eyes."
I'm great at making friends.
Thank god im not the only one
Who wants to be friends with people that can't think or play portal? Na, nothing wrong with you.
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.

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

Could be worse. She could have got a Final Fantasy Cactuar tattoo.
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.

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.
Don't cover it up. Didn't touch it up. Turn to the person and judge them for not knowing what a swastika looks like and be fine with it. We should not cater to people's stupidity or ignorance.
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.
If you see it only by a quick glance or from far away, or have poor vision, it's pretty easy to mistake it for a swastika.
Outline the orange circle properly. Black line will ytterly change the visual
Just write "NOT SWASTIKA" next to it.
Whoops, your hair moved and has been covering the "not" for most of the day.
Aww man, it's a cool idea, just badly executed.
I wouldn't even say badly executed as it looks exactly as it should for portal.
For the good of all of us
except the ones who are dead
But there's no sense crying over every mistake...
Just change the ring to blue so it stand out more.
Make the portal more saturated and cover up the back lower leg with it.
I'm assuming you have the blue circle on the other side of your neck try to make the orange one more orange
Blue portal instead?
I’d use it as an intelligence filter. If you can’t tell the difference you are a moron and unworthy of me talking to you 😀
Grow a bigger ear.
She wasnt thinking with portals
3 arrows down and to the left
That song is stuck in my head for 2 days.
Perhaps you should put a blue portal on your cheek?
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
