Message: <blockquote data-quote="imalittlefishy" data-source="post: 211209" data-attributes="member: 32174">I've had T1 for 9 years and got a tattoo 2 years ago...although they say that diabetics should not get tattoos, I think this is along the same lines as the advice that diabetics should not go in saunas or wax their legs. As far as I'm concerned, it's covering themselves, and as long as you don't have any complications that could cause problems, and make sure your tattooist is hygienic (because we're more prone to infection...but tbh that's important even if you're not diabetic) then it should be fine. I never had any problems with the healing of mine. As long as you're careful and there aren't other factors involved, it shouldn't be a problem. xx</blockquote>
