was thinking with to use a seahorse or the sea turtle with a ribbon as well as the tear drop for the hydrocephalus. Any better ideas?

consider drawing some ideas on paper first then taking them to someone who is a certified tattoo artist as most artists can be quite creative with designing something that will give you that desired look.

Nice! I have to wait till I’m in Edmonton again b4 I can see if they’ll take the responsibility of knowing I have fibromyalgia, but I know a few shops that will do it. I’m glad ur getting the medical alert one. Just make sure the numbers are right b4 the tattoo. I’ve got one that takes up my shoulder blade and another 7 1/2” tall and about 4 “ wide on my thigh. My mom had an ankle and wrist tattoos that I took her to get and I took both brothers in for their tattoos. My dad wasn’t too happy with me. But I just want to warn u the less fat the more pain. So if u have a skinny ankle, it’ll hurt more. I could feel the needle hitting my bone when I got the shoulder blade tattoo and I had to drink some water halfway through. But again I think those are great tattoos to have, and like u said- they could end up saving ur life

Rhondaschnee , I want to have one done on my left arm. Also have see medical card in wallet for other info needed that I don’t have included in my tattoo. I’ve already contacted a tattoo parlor in my county that I live in. They said slide by on a weekend day . I don’t mind putting a couple hundred bucks in the one if it’s gonna save my life one day if needed. I want an awareness tattoo done as well with the two conditions combined. I’m thinking the location for that one from my ankle to my foot

All they have to do is tattoo the logo and number and then I also want the 2 main things they administer when ur in pain or having a stroke or heart attack. I’ve seen others who have them and they love them

No it’s not covered, but neither is the one ur getting. And a medical alert tattoo would actually be cheaper than having to replace the bracelet every couple years
