I across a couple of (comical) tattoos that express our fight with RA.
Hopefully, it brings a smile to your face as it did mine!

look at the tattoos but don't get one.

Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 04:00 PMOn a personal note, please look at tattoos on paper and other people, but don't get one yourself. Duh, Dumb me. I got a tattoo on my calf and completely forgot that my immune system was compromised and it literally took 6 months and a lot of babysitting to keep it from getting infected, to heal. Please learn from my mistake or stupidity.

Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 09:22 PMYou know...now that makes me wonder if that is why my ear never would heal when I got it pierced a few years ago!!! I finally had to just take the earring out.

Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 10:17 PMprobably is the reason. It never occured to me before I got the tattoo. I sure wouldn't have gotten it if I had thought it through. I guess I thought it would just affect me when I caught a cold etc. I hope people do see this and think it through because it sure did give me trouble.

Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 09:32 AMI haven't been able to wear earrings for that last several years due to burning, itching infection that starts as soon as I put them in. I have found though if you want to wear them for that special event you're going to, that if you put a small amount of neosporin on the stem/hook & the backing that I can wear them for a few hours. I take them out as soon as I get home & this seems to do the trick with little irratation. Dont get over confident & leave them in over night thou ... you'll be sorry.

Sunday, October 04, 2009 at 05:45 PMI love the tattoo pics but you bring up a critical issue...immunosuppressed people (those taking most of the DMARDS for RA) should avoid getting a tattoo. I got a bee sting this summer and it took 4-5 weeks for it to stop bothering me!
Related to this, my nurse told me to avoid the first round of swine flu vaccines because they are nasal mist containing a live virus.

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 04:59 AMI have a superman tatoo on my right arm. After the RA hit I thought it would be fitting to have a green krytonite rock that says RA on my left arm. HAHA

Thursday, October 01, 2009 at 11:20 PMAlthough I have never seriously considered getting a tattoo before, I would consider one of these! Thanks for the smiles!

hhahahaha, I love 'em. Hey I'm 66 years old and have 3 of them. 2 are pretty new also. Now I'll have to think about one of these, probably the "sucks". LOL, love it.
