I've heard that the tattoo artist should know, too - maybe something about the ink? I told mine, but he didn't listen. Haven't had any trouble, but that was about 8.5 years ago....
I got a tattoo as a part of the process of accepting my diagnosis...
Hmmmm... I haven't had this with CGM sensors (since I haven't removed any - first one comes out later today - happy one week!), but I HAVE had that with infusion set removal. The most recent time was when I was standing on the exhibit floor at the...
Starbucks has a nutrition sheet in any of their outlets. I use their carb guide when I have my latte in the morning (though I make it myself at home)

Caffeine runs in my blood, in average I drink 4 to 6 cups of black coffee a day. Don't believe it effect my BG level. I never bolus for it! I drink it with nothing added just water and pure dark coffee (light roasted if it differ!)
I am a huge energy drink addict, and found out my sugar only shoots up when I drink them with meals.
I answered a question about this last week: http://tudiabetes.com/forum/topics/coffee-question
