Quote from: "Roxanne"Even if I could get a tattoo I don't think I would. Being diabetic my body is a very slow healer which is why my psoriasis is so bad. I've learned to live with needles as I have to poke my fingers between six and ten times a day to test my bs levels.

I only have to mess with my pump infusion site every three days, which is so much nicer than two shots twice a day.

I gave blood once, but haven't since I found out I was diabetic. I don't think that they will let me anyway.

They have no problem with me (I am Type-II).  Not sure about Type-I

Nope, if you're a diabetic you can't donate anything... We found that out the hard way.

I actually have to give six shots a day now.  I have two and have to give Mark four a day.  He lost a major injection site when he had the tenckhoff put in his stomach.  So now I have to do three in his arms during the day and one in his butt at night.

Thank goodness that after the transplant we'll be back to only two and day... he'll be diabetes free so that'll be just me....  :cry:

Quote from: "Avril"I waaaant to donate blood. However I weigh 95 pounds and the minimum is 115, so now matter how much I go "oh please oh please take my bloooood", they won't do it. What's worse is I'm a rare type, so they could probably USE my blood. x.x

Avril, I feel your pain. I'm all of 105lbs and O+, and they still won't take me.

But tattoos ... I LURV my tattoo! I got it 6 years ago and I still love it to bits. Like Bree's, it's a tattoo with a story, but it's a story that's evolved with me as I've grown older. It's relevant today, but is still a picture of who I was when I got it. Aaaaand I want another... but I refuse to have anyone's art permanently on my body except for my own. Which means I have to design a new one. Except I am lazy.

After two epidurals, I've kind of gotten rid off most my fear of needles. (I still close my eyes when they poke it into me.)
Can't donate blood, health reasons. (I have permanent medication) My father is AB and at least used to donate blood regularily.
As for tattoo, I might take one, I actually planned on taking one when I was younger (18 or something) but I lived in small town that had tattoo-shop and I was not going to travel to find one... so no tattoos. Piercings...now that's something I don't understand.

I've had too many friends who have had piercings gone wrong.

And I can understand about your epidural, Paula.  I of course have never had one myself, but I watched a doctor stick a needle into my mother's spine TWICE...  It certainly makes a strong impression if I can remember it that vividly from 20 years ago...

OMG... 20 years ago?  Was it really that long?  God I feel old all of a sudden.

I have no fear of needles... give blood regularly (though I am boring O+ which is extremely common) and got my nose pierced last year... it is a tiny little stud and I totally love it! :bounce:

Epidurals though... that is just scary. Needles shouldn't go anywhere near the spin!!!

I have a thing about needles.  They scare me.  :oops:

But I have a piercing in each ear!  Not very ambitious, I know.  But when I wear earrings, they look nice  :)

Quotethough I am boring O+

You know, that's not all that common EVERYWHERE you go...  I run into a lot of As and Bs here in Japan.  And for some reason everyone here is OBSESSED by bloodtype!  They have some idea about bloodtype being related to personality...

Actually, blood type is related to ethnic strains. Europe and africa have higher numbers of As, Asia has lots pf As but slightly more Bs, and the Americas are a mess but for the most part Os. There are mixes everywhere of course, but the theory is that different blood types are less susceptible to certain diseases common in certain environments. Like people with sickle cell anemia having a better chance of surviving Malaria.

I still don't understand tattoos, but I've had pierced ears since kindergarten. Can't get any more holes in the ears though, and I refuse to have them poked anywhere else!
