Speaking of tattoos, I got a new one a couple weeks ago:
(I am on the far right, of course!)
It healed beautifully and did not get infected at all. My first tattoo didn't heal as quickly or as nicely(it was during my hard partying days, so my diabetes control was not the greatest back then), but still turned out looking awesome in the end.
Ironically, I checked a box on the waiver saying "I do not have diabetes." What's even funnier is that I got into an extended conversation with the tattoo artist about all kinds of things and ended up telling him I was a diabetic anyway. He said that would make sense as I was by FAR the most CALM girl he has ever tattooed. Needles obviously do not phase me whatsoever, so I was able to sit perfectly still.
AND so far, I have had no body parts fall off
