Medic Alert Tattoo - Ink Expansion
Hi All,
I'm developing a medic alert tattoo and had some questions about the lettering. Since the tattoo will serve more of a purpose than my other ones, I wanted the letters to be legible long term, but still keep them at a reasonable size on my wrist (I might end up making it larger than my wrist area, but still thinking on that).
I know that ink expands over time, but thought I'd ask if anyone that has a medic alert tattoo on their wrist has noticed how much the letters have changed in however many years...if at all.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks! :]

I can't figure out how to post the picture here but if you look at my pics, I have my simple diabetic tattoo.

Simple is indeed good. I am planning on adding the ribbon for a cure to the tattoo tho. But do like my simple medical bracelet.

my ink in general..After 2 years: Yellows gone. Red looks orange. All the IVs I had at the hospital last year only messed with the blue ink on the outlines. My triangle I have inside a circle (tribal tat) is fuzzy. The usual wrist area tat wont catch eyes. Something ribbon ish with it looking like it is a flying flag would be good. Medics have noticed my dragonfly before my other tats because it curls and looks cool besides.
If you get one designed...will you share the pix? -
