14 Creative Diabetes Tattoos That Inspire And Inform!

By Katie Taylor

No one would choose to have diabetes, and there are days when every person who deals with it is just done: fried, frazzled, and exhausted.

Tattoos are a way of changing your diabetes narrative. A diabetes tattoo can remind you of your strength and what you have already overcome, and they double as medical alert symbols. Tattoos can show that diabetes is not something to hide and that, though it’s challenging, it’s part of who you are.
