No, no they wouldnt.

You dont need "anal leakage" appearing in Papyrus on your arm at any point in your life. You want a diagnosis you go to a doctor, not a tattooist.

Also, EMT's are told to ignore any tattoos indicating medical conditions, they only look for them bracelet things for diabetics or other conditions.

Yeah I had a co-worker get a huge 'diabetic' on her arm and every time I saw it I laughed inside because the EMT's are definitely not going to pay attention to that. No pics unfortunately because they don't allow cameras, or phones, at work due to data security rules with our clients.

Is it surrounded by other tattoos or fat or something? Every adult type 1 diabetic I know (including myself) has abandoned the bracelets for a tattoo on the wrist/forearm, medics are trained to look for the caduceus or rod of asclepius so they should notice it whether it's a tat or a metal dog tag. There is an unspoken rule that you don't get any other tattoos anywhere near the medical one so that it stands out though.

The three doctors in my family agreed that if you're unconscious (the only useful situation for these markings) you're going to be getting an IV at some point so the inside of the wrist/forearm will definitely get noticed.

She's a type 2 so fatty fat fat.

I've encountered a lot of 'interesting and unique' name spelling over the years, but this is the first time I've seen Christima. Unless that's supposed to be cursive, in which case that is the worst script I've seen on a human being in a while.

Yeah I have a feeling that whoever did that tattoo got really confused at some point, or shouldn't be doing portraits. It honestly looks like some kind of amalgam of both people's faces to me.

Ah yes, the kind of tattoo that not only looks bad, but is also completely useless as paramedics and nurses are instructed to ignore that kind of thing.

Im not sure, I found it in collection of 'daily pics'. I figured it was an extension of people cutting and sewing their ears to look like elves or cropping them like this




This guy looks pretty sad about his life choices.


I think that's the only expression last guy can have without all those piercings shooting biohazard materials all over the general vicinity.

I didn't know Nixon had horrible facial burns.

Actually, is that Nixon? I seem to be having a touch of face blindness from this horrible tattoo.

Unlike big name celebrities it makes sense for pro athletes to get lovely tattoos. What with all the brain damage :v:

I'm just blue-skying here, but I could think of several possibilities:

1. Bad (or non-existent) aftercare
2. Unsterilized/reused needles
3. Unsterilized work area (ie., kitchen scratchers)
4. Allergic reaction to the ink
5. Bad ink/ink not designed for tattooing (disclaimer: I'm not an artist, but my understanding is that the FDA does not regulate tattoo inks. Some of the actual real professionals in the thread could speak to this better than I can.)

Blisters is probably caused by a kitchen scratcher or otherwise contaminated conditions, yeah. There are other ways to get infected but blisters on a fresh/still healing tattoo is usually because it's infected, especially if it's those big ugly red ones. Minor blistering can just mean you have sensitive skin.

It's not uncommon for the body to try to seal off infections in a nodule or blister. When you produce pus it has to go somewhere after all.

I wish there was a way for the tattoo to have that effect where if the light catches it one way it reveals the old image but if you move it reveals the new one.

Sadly lenticular printing will probably never work on skin. You'd have to get some kind of shaped dermal implant, and as far as I know even the biggest body mod crazies haven't gone that far.

Well Illinois has the issue that literally anybody can set up a shop with very little paperwork. You basically just have to buy an autoclave and tell the state you're going to do tattoos.
