Is there a tattoo for being castrated/ or being a Eunuch?

Maybe a Mars (male) symbol with the backwards prongs on the arrow either severed or removed completely?

I've seen one I call "broken male" which is the male symbol, as you'd normally see it, but the arrow portion has a gap between the circle and the tip of the arrow. If I could, I'd post a photo here, but we can't.

There was a thread similar to this many moons ago. After a lot of discussion there was a design created using (I think) the kanji for eunuch.

Depending on how flowery you wanted the translation to be, you might compare yourself to a horse thusly.

I just got tat using Mandarin for 'Palace Eunuch" but it is on my belly just under breastbone centered over a budda: 太监
The artist is doing a design with the symbol that anthonyg just posted - but is reversing to a black square with symbol left white. The design is to be an armband with the design repeated as links

宦官 I like this one.
I didn't understand the differing connotatons. The translation for the one I used was something like "great grandfather" and "intensely confined" together translated as 'palace eunuch'
What is the meaning if the one you like?

According to Babelfish it simply translates in Japanese as Eunuch.
Copied from Babelfish:
Original
Eunuch
Translation
宦官
