To me it looks like the trigger and handle have been taped, (to prevent fingerprints?), and there is some sort of flames or smoke obscuring the handle.

Which is a perfectly reasonable thing to have tattooed on the side of your head.

I always thought this was a bit weird. Like, I understand covering EMTs' asses if someone is covered in tattoos and they miss a medic alert thing, but if the tattoo is big and bold and the only one on the body, I have a really hard time imagining some EMT seeing such a specific thing (like "Type 1 Diabetic") and not assuming they're telling the truth. Like, maybe in the paperwork they won't admit it for legal reasons, but they still might throw some glucagon or something the patients way a bit earlier than otherwise, and at that point the tattoo has served its purpose.

Edit: tattoo still ugly

Are they instructed to ignore/disregard the "Do Not Resuscitate" ones old people sometimes get too? Serious question.

I was curious and looked it up and it seems like part of the problem is EMTs aren't trained to look for tattoos, and also there is no standardized location for them to check, so it's easy for them to miss. The other thing that was pointed out was that a wallet card can be updated with up to date data, in a way a tattoo can't. (Admittedly that's less of an issue with diabetes)

If I understand correctly though there is a standard place: wrists, ankles, and necks are all checked quickly for medic-alert bracelets or necklaces. I do a lot of work at a diabetes camp and pretty much every adult under 30 has a tattoo with the medic-alert symbol in one of those places. Most people go for the wrist because if they are gonna do an IV they have to look at the inner arm anyways.

Re: Diabeeetus tattoos, my coworker's daughter has type 1 and Pinterest showed her the idea of the wrist tattoo instead of a bracelet. My coworker is pretty conservative and was not excited about it. The daughter was all in, and after begging and coercing got my coworker to sign off.

The tattooer was a good one and basically talked the daughter out of it. He said that no paramedic would look at it and so on. So the daughter ended up getting a huge first tattoo of flowers or something instead of text saying "diabetes type 1" on her wrist. My coworker being all conservative and so on was not pleased. :3:

The horrifying thing in this photo is that cord on the carpet, that's a clip cord for a tattoo machine, she just got that tattoo right there, on that poo poo stained bed surrounded by every contaminant known to man.

Hopefully she doesn't have that leg any more due to gangrene so nobody has to see the monstrosity of that 'tattoo'.

Correct. Unless we have a valid DNR form that's actually signed by a Doctor, we will attempt resuscitation.

That is not this idiot's first tattoo. I guess she had her eyes closed while she scoped the artist's portfolio and then let him dig on her for hours?

My favorite part is that they think 7 more hours of work is what that tattoo needed.
Nothing like 'it's not finished yet' to solidify that a tattoo is done by a terrible artist.

Nobody here is saying that. :confused:

In an emergency situation the medic/emt will still check the persons sugar before giving glucose. No one is going to provide medical treatment based on the presence of a tattoo.

Those are actually approved/reviewed/verified and have some form of legitimacy behind them. I think that's the thing people aren't understanding?
