these are my two tat's: one is the actural paw frint of my cat (my baby) Meat Loaf who died on August 28, 2009 of kidney failure. after he died i had his paw print taken and took it my tattoo artist and he tattooed his actual pawprint on me and i wrote his name Meat Loaf between his pawprint and his dew claw.

my other tat i also had personally drawn for me to represent my life, the pain, the hurt and hopefully the healing.

Go for it, Paul. Be sure to show us your work of art when you get it done 'cause I know folks are going to need some new ideas for medic alert tats.

Hello Everyone...
I have 3 Tattoo's and 1 of them is my super "nerd" Diabetes tattoo.
I had a infection that "broke" my pancreas, I had really hard time dealing with this (being 22) and because I have some function they call me type II. So I have to deal with the sigma that comes with type II is your fault. So I got this tattoo....
It is sugar in it's molecular form....

I'm looking into getting a tattoo, but the guy won't do it until I get med clearance. So, I'm waiting on my doctors note before I can get mine. I want to get the flower that's in the middle of my blog posts. (just the big one, not all three)

I have 3 tats and am planning on getting more. As long as you take care of them while they heal it's not a problem. Also, let the artist that you're working with know that you are diabetic. Most will be ok with it, and they'll know to watch you while they're working on you. Make sure the place is clean and do your homework, but tattoos are not a problem. I am a type 1, and a couple of my tats are fairly large, again, no problems.

Just diagnosed with type 1. Always wanted to get a couple tattoos but now I keep reading that we really shouldn't because of the healing problem. Still want my polynesian sleeve done as well as a type 1 diabetes tat. Just now sure how a big project like a sleeve would heal. Of course my doctor is against it getting done but seeing people here that have them actually makes me feel more confident about getting it done,
