Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Has anyone heard why a diabetic shouldn't get a tattoo? I got one about 3 years ago (pre-diagnosis) and might want a second. I can't imagine the problem. Type 1 23 units lantus + Humalog Los Angeles, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 cool - what do you have so far? Mine is a purple peace sign with some white and yellow flowers kind of around/behind it on my lower back. I want a second just haven't been able to decide what I want.

This of course depends on where you get it and if it's an oxygen rich area. But I would check with your doctor first and then find a very reputable tattooist.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 << Most people with advanced degrees don't tend to frequent ink parlors. >> Guess I'm an exception. And were those comments really necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Did it ever occur to you that the only reason they weren't necessary is because you have/like them ? I still hate them. And I'm out of here you superficial bunch of ink lovers. Re: Tattoos I totally agree that those comments were not necessary. I hope now we can move on to more important issues, like does the heat affect your bgs? ----- Original Message ----- > And were those comments really necessary?
