Beetus Tattoo

Type 1 and LADA

DISCLAIMER First and foremost, I originally posted this in the “inked diabetics” group. I KNOW many people won’t agree with me even having tattoos or getting more… but rest assured, I hear your opinion and respectfully disagree. If the idea is bothersome to you, please disregard and don’t comment on the post. ***

Ok all, I need feedback.

I am DEFINITELY getting the popular Wilford Brimley-as-diabetes-meme tattooed on my arm.
This is not a question.
The question lies in HOW to depict the 'brim… and what caption will be scribed with him.
My thoughts are as follows, and I want votes…

Family Guy-style Brimley with a line from his speech on the show.

Portrait-style Brimley with the line “test your bloodsugar and test it often”
OR I have diabeetus.

or Brimley cat with just “diabeetus” under it.

VOTE FOR MY FATE !!!

I vote for Family style - Just his face, as simple as possible with the line “test and test often” underneath.
I assume this is just for fun and not to alert EMS of your Diabetic status!?

3

Yeah, Family Guy.

4

Family Guy.

5

Family guy…fo sho.

And the words need to say “I depend on Liberty Medical for all my Diabetes needs!”

6

I vote cat cuz I think it would look better in long run( to me)

7

just for fun. i wear a medic alert bracelet always.

8

family guy!! have you decided where it’s going?

9

if it was me, and im covered, id do the portrait. but only if i could afford someone who is the bomb at doin portraits.

2 half sleeves on my arms and a half leg from the ankle to the kneecaps on my left leg. Trust me when i say your not the only one. My Endo said “Its time for a tattoo removal” and I laughed in her face! No way Jose!

11

yeah… that’s what i’m worried about…that i’d get some sort of a hack-job portrait.

12

family guy. that was a good clip, something about getting ‘short’ with his family. yeah, definitely family guy lmao.

13

i think on my upper arm/low shoulder

14

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I think a perfect portrait of Wilford Brimley tatooed anywhere on your body is kinda, uh, creepy?

There, I said it. Carry on.

15

Agreed

16

Second the cat cause it’s cuter :slight_smile:

Unless you get a really good portrait tattooer like Kat Von D (or however she spells it) I would go Family Guy. I dont know that I would toss in the “I beat my wife, yell at the kids…” line in there though. Maybe “I have biabeetus” or something.
