Tattoos after late autism diagnosis

JustBe

Hi,

I was just wondering if any of you have had any Tattoos done since your diagnosis. Or if you have had any covered up. 

I'm considering this. Because the person I thought I was, isn't me at all.

    Would you be willing to share why you are not keen on them? I'm curious as to the thought processes behind it.

    I too was against them for the longest time but once I got to know some people from the scene that is heaviliy into these, I started to see that they are quite an effective way to express yourself.

    There are plenty of people who get one as a fashion statement of through FOMO but for me I see it as a good way to express something about yourself by wearing your symbol as a mark of pride.

    My old view was that the body is fine just as it is and why do you need to mess it up, but once you see how much thought and effort goes into some of the tattoos it may change your perspective.

    Hi Iain, interesting reply.

    Just want to say - I don't want to upset anyone with tattoos, it's their body and their choice.

    I've had a think and I can't really explain it. I also don't like graffiti or the writing people do on the walls of their houses these days (live, laugh, love, etc) or clothing with pictures or writing on.
