When people are diagnosed with a chronic disease or any life-altering disease, it’s something that can change their life, can change the way their body looks and it’s an experience that is unlike another. Many people beat cancer and once they beat it, they get a tattoo, which becomes something symbolic of what they have overcome. Diabetes tattoos are also becoming very popular; especially type 1 diabetes tattoos, which is more common with young people.
There are many benefits to getting tattoos. For one thing, you help bring awareness to the disease you have. It acts as a conversation starter because when people see your tattoo in a visible area, like your arms, they ask about it. They in turn educate others on the disease, which brings awareness. Someone with a type 1 diabetes tattoo might be passed out, but when people see their tattoo they might know how to help him or to take that person to the hospital to get care they need.
