  1. I am looking for medical alert tattoo ideas. Wondering what kind of tat would work best to convey the message and where I should have it? Obviously the wrist is a good place to put it. I have a gastric pacemaker inplanted and if I am unable to speak and was put through an MRI or in anyway shocked it would kill me! So I need to be sure that anyone that is treating me knows that! Anyone have any info on this kind of thing? Would very much appreciate it!
    Thanks

  2. Wrist first – that is where they are trained to look first – facing their way (down). with the medical image, so that they pay attention “gastric pacemaker implant”
    and another by your heart, where the shocker treatment goes to resecitate you. Maybe the word ‘WAIT” and then the words “gastric pacemaker implant” might help. as well.
    When being put in an MRI machine that will make sure that you have no metal on, and if unconscience, you will be stripped and checked and they will notice the “gastric pacemaker implant” tattoo – use a clear font and no artsy image – plain and simple and easy for them in an emergency

  3. I’m thing about getting a medical ID tattoo. I have a medical ID bracelet but want something more permanent in case I didn’t have my bracelet on or if it got lost or broken. The thing is though I can’t get infections and am worried that if I get this done it’ll get infected. Do to my medical condition . Should I not get this done?
