William it posted your image 2 times already. I think you have it figured out buddy. It looks fine on my screen.
Very cool b/w photo w/ the typewriter in the background, btw.

Here's my medic alert tattoo
Comment by brokenpole on October 29, 2011 at 7:36am
I have been on the site since June and just found this forum. I really like the look of some of the diabetic tats. Never thought of doing a medic alert that way.

I have 4 tats one of them being rather large on my left shoulder. I got all of them since being dx as a type 2. Never had a problem healing and still want to get more (don't we all). Now I have some nice ink work to look at.

I have five tattoo's but this one is my medical ID. I always wanted to get one but always put it off.  I did P90X for a good year and then decided to push myself further last Nov.  I had severe random BG drops that went on non stop in Nov with a couple leading to visits from paramedics.  Luckily I was with friends or family for all of those days.  I always seem to get strikes like these randomly in life with out feeling anything in regards to a low BG creeping in.  So yeah after Nov I cut back a lot of the exercising but this was the month that was my push to get my tattoo. 

 

I didn't have issues healing or getting them either.

Finally drew up what I wanted and had this done about a month ago. It's on my forearm. I'm really happy with it!
