You know I've been hearing about this in the last year or so as well... one person said they could look at tattoo and avoid SI...problem was she's had like 4 now...I no longer believe her...

I'd rather keep the sobriety and skip the tattoo if there is any question at all in my mind... Maybe at one year I'd get the tattoo to celebrate and re-new my vow to continue to remain SI free.. but only if I were very, very sure it would not trigger me and the image were a very positive one of healing and hope..

That's only one person's opinion..everyone's got one...

(I did just see Popeye and Indie's responses...these comments were just about friends doing it to avoid SI...I love tattoos in their own right and find many of them incredibly beautiful and it is an artform if done correctly...these comments weren't about that at all... )

Hugs!
