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.

  • I got a tattoo when I was 20 after returning from NYC. It's of a symbol I made up. Weeks after I returned 9/11 happened and I realised about 10 years later I'd actually got the shape of the symbol from part of the WTC which I visited.

    Crazy how things work out, but I have had dreams consistent with 9/11 trauma ever since so the tattoo is a crucial part of that experience and I still love it 25+ years later.
