Hey, I’m planning on getting a Tattoo next week to show that I’m a Type One Diabetic.
Does anyone have any templates that they have used or similar suggestions?
Also am I right in thinking that the best place to get a medical tattoo is my left wrist?
Any help/advice/suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks.
 
I have a tattoo, on my left wrist under my watch strap. It just says diabetes 1. Make sure though you leave enough space for cured when/if it happens 🙂
 
might be an idea to have a tattoo on your left side chest as well as wrist,as this is the first place where emergency responders will put an ECG or listen to your heart with a stethascope if you are found unconsious,if the one on your wrist is missed.
when taking a pulse, these days they just use a finger monitor for oxygen saturation and pulse rather than feeling for a pulse on your wrist
