Comments: This customer wanted this tattoo to commemorate the day he donated a kidney to his brother. Their last name is cleveland so he wanted the tag to say genuine Cleveland parts.

 :clap;  Love tattoos and totally addicted to them.  Had one done the other day, it will be my ninth!  I have:
1. Koi Fish/Patience Chinese symbol on my left hip
2. Tranquilty Chinese symbol on my right hip
3. Two penguins with the Aurora Borealis on my left shoulder
4. Celtic Sun and Moon on the back of my neck.
5. My Grandfather's birth flower- an iris, and "grandfather" underneath in Hebrew
6. A tribal turtle with "wings" around it on my lower back.
7. The Breaking Benjamin song lyrics- "Dear Agony Just Let Go Of Me" over the tribal turtle (newest one)
8. A sparrow with cherry blossoms on my left wrist
9. A red rose on my right wrist.
My neighbor and friend is a tatoo artist and will be teaching me to tatoo in the near future!!  Since I haven't been working in some time and I love art, he offered to teach and possibly start a tattoo business!  I am super excited. 
Oh, and I would post pics, but I still haven't figured it out yet... someone want to explain how to post??!!  LOL

Would there be any potential complications getting tattooed while being a dialysis patient above the usual tattooing intersections of pathogens and the like?

My nephrologist steered me against it five years ago and I haven't broached it again, but I'm really wanting to get my Kidney From Hell design inked on me soon.

I'd be interested in knowing the answer to that question too! DBF was thinking about one to honor his Mom

I love looking at pics of peoples tattoos.  I have three--a feather (I'm 1/4 'native american'), a greyhound with the numbers that are tattooed in my greyhounds ears underneath, and the Pi sign.  I got that one when my Dad died, he was an evolutionary psychologist and loved that symbol  :)

The docs are pretty anti-tattoo, just because of the normal risks, I think.  There's enough chance of getting hep when you are on D without adding a tat parlor into the mix.  The question becomes is the risk of messing up your health worth the ink?  Plenty of people get them - on D or with transplant, regardless of what the doc thinks!

Have you considered getting your design embroidered on a hat or silk-screened on a jean jacket?  Plenty of places do custom design work like that.
