AIBU to ask you about the tattoo I'm thinking of having?

[lemonyone]

At the ripe age of 45 I am thinking of having a snake tattoo on my wrist and writing on the inner part of my wrist. It will be quite visible.

Background:
I'm deadly allergic to nuts and a number of other foods.
I find it hard to wear a bracelet as the metal irritates my eczema, especially when my wrist gets wet. I'm in healthcare, so often washing hands and the bracelet gets trapped with a layer of damp under my gloves and i end up with a red cracked wrist.
Medical alert ecklaces are no good either, I get eczema on my neck when I wear them (I really should have been put down like a runt of the litter!)

I had a nut allergy scare yesterday, I had my kids with me but wondered what may have happened if I had collapsed and before I could tell the medics what the problem was.

Although i don't dislike tattoos, I'm not keen on them either. But I'm starting to wonder about having a tattoo of the medical alert on my wrist with what I'm allergic to on the inside of my wrist.

Has anyone else had a medical tattoo or know someone who has? Do you think this is a good solution? I'm worried about regretting it or the tattoo being itchy.

Thanks

I dont know if anyone has already suggested this, lemonyone, but you can buy medical alert badges, that you wear on your clothes, instead of next to your skin.

I think if you do a search, you'll find there is quite a wide range of different types.

If you loom on Pinterest you will see loads of medi Id tattoo ideas.
It is becoming more of a thing and a paramedic will check for bracelets and things so if it is on your wrist and like you are planning has the medi alert symbol I think they will take note. It will be pretty obvious what it is.
I think it's a great idea something a lot of soldiers I know have had done along with their blood group tattoo'd on them for obvious reasons
