diabetic logo tatoo

Hi I know the International diabetic tatoo is just a blue ring/circle but what I what to know whether it is recognisable by health practitioners i.e. paramedics & where would they look for one. I mean I don't want diabetic logo tatoo on my forehead!!!
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there,

I know most paramedics are told to look around the pulse points (bracelets / necklace area) so perhaps there is your best bet. I know a chap who had it tattooed on his forearm as well.

Hi,

I'm not sure how well the blue circle symbol would be recognised, but the serpent-entwined rod (Rod of Asclepius) is the internationally recognised medical symbol which as Simon rightly says is normally 'worn' close to a pulse point so it's easily seen by emergency staff.
