I just got a tattoo commemorating my Ride to Cure for JDRF in Death Valley. I cycled 105 miles in 103 degree heat and had the time of my life. My very cool wife got a matching tattoo. I'll post pictures as soon as I get a good one. My next one is going to be a modified version of the ADA Red Rider logo - anyone ever see it? I'll ask you guys for input...I want to cover most or all of the back of my calf. So I'm thinking I should modify the wings to be more vertical...

I was so excited when I saw this group...I grew up in a small town where the general drs consensus was that diabetics should not have children and definitely not get tattoos...their children would have "problems" and their tattoos would not heal. I'm glad to say I have issues when someone tells me I cannot do something. I have 3 gorgeous children and 3 tattoos. The 2 photos I post are of the tattoos that reflect the biggest things in my life: my children and my diabetes. Thanks to all of you out there and on this whole site for showing a small town girl she's not alone! I'm adding a link because I could not get the pictures to upload here.

vaseline makes a cocoa, shea butter body butter that works amazingly well for tats in fact I just call it tat butter now. If you can find it give it a try

Hey all, so I am new here., I have seen much discussion about tattoos for diabetics, have had artists tell me just get one at a time. I have gone out and gotten 3 in one week. if you take care of them properly it should be no problem. I am going to get the medic alert symbol, or dr feelgood whatever you call the snake and cross thing tatooed on both wrists soon. I will try and post some pictures of what I have soon

Zo Zo - Ok - now I can understand why you want a diabetic tat (what do you do where you can't wear jewelery if I may ask)? I worked in sheet metal (on aircraft) - and wore my medic alert bracelet with no probs (didn't wear rings tho' - to dangerous). Now because I'm hip - I've been wearing these bracelets designed for kids from Rescue Me ID's (I have them send to my sis-in-law in the States - then she mails them to me in Canada).
