I've had diabetes for nearly 20 years now and have had several tattoos done. Just make sure you use a reputable tattoo place and let the tattooer know you have diabetes, that way if you have a hypo or anything they will know why you are acting strange. I got my first tattoo on my back & had a hypo after about an hour (it was pretty big) because of the shock to my body. When the person first starts any tattoo as well, they will warn you before beginning and do a very small part of the design to make sure you can handle it before getting into their routine
