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

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.

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.

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.
