If you have the small of your back tattooed with this, like in the pic w/ the article, how do you check your blood sugar? Ask somebody? I'd like to have a tattoo that would tell me my BG, whether it was temporary or not!

Whatever happened to this? Has anyone heard about any developments?
I am assuming they are not accurate enough but it would be pretty cool to have a temp tat that also would indicate where we are at and if we need to go check sugars... http://inhabitat.com/new-nanoparticle-tattoos-can-constantly-monito...

Those are both great! I like the inked look of the Someday one, although don't you have to make the ribbon blue or it's some other disease? Or is it just the light making it grey? I like the location of CML Peterson's dragon too. I have one on each bicep and have been contemplating where else I might put one and that's a good location?

I'm the mom of type 1 diabetic. I got this tattoo about 2 months ago. My daughter designed it. It means "Someday I'll be able to say my daughter USED to have diabetes"

Oops picture is again sideways.

Recent ink. Its going to take a few more sessions due to the fact of money. I work in two hour sessions and for the area that this tattoo will be completely in probably will work best. Its starts out on my front (as in the picture) goes up over my shoulder down my back where it curves onto my ribs at my arm pit. One of his claws just happen to be right at my arm pit on my side.

I agree very nice Jesus! Sorry I missed this thread when it went up but well, better late than never? I like the colors in there a lot.
