Ok all, I need feedback.

I am DEFINITELY getting the popular Wilford Brimley-as-diabetes-meme tattooed on my arm.
This is not a question.
The question lies in HOW to depict the 'brim... and what caption will be scribed with him.
My thoughts are as follows, and I want votes...

Family Guy-style Brimley with a line from his speech on the show.

Portrait-style Brimley with the line "test your bloodsugar and test it often"
OR I have diabeetus.

or Brimley cat with just "diabeetus" under it.

I vote for Family style - Just his face, as simple as possible with the line "test and test often" underneath.
I assume this is just for fun and not to alert EMS of your Diabetic status!?
just for fun. i wear a medic alert bracelet always.
Yeah, Family Guy.
Family Guy.
Family guy.........fo sho.

And the words need to say "I depend on Liberty Medical for all my Diabetes needs!"
2 half sleeves on my arms and a half leg from the ankle to the kneecaps on my left leg. Trust me when i say your not the only one. My Endo said "Its time for a tattoo removal" and I laughed in her face! No way Jose!
I vote cat cuz I think it would look better in long run( to me)
Second the cat cause it's cuter :)
family guy!! have you decided where it's going?
i think on my upper arm/low shoulder
if it was me, and im covered, id do the portrait. but only if i could afford someone who is the bomb at doin portraits.
yeah... that's what i'm worried about...that i'd get some sort of a hack-job portrait.
