Today, I got a tattoo of the snake and staff medical symbol on my wrist. Now everyone keeps asking what illness I have; they think it's a medical bracelet substitute. FML

OP here. I didn't expect it to be noted as a medical bracelet substitute. It's very artsy and colourful; it also has a date underneath so I didn't expect people to think it was due to an illness.

well since the tattoo signifies so much meaning to you, then you'll hopefully have no regrets. it just seems that misconception of others will live you the rest of your life. just something you gotta deal with, but I'm sure the tattoo was worth it in the end.

If it means something important to you, you shouldn't care what others think.

If it was a substitute it would show what disease it would be and I don't think they will ever have a substitute it would be a tattoo of the bracelet.

People are ignorant. I'm about to get the veterinary caduceus. I wonder if they'll ask me what disease I have that starts with a V haha. Oh, and all you dusty old hags who seem to have a problem with it, your mom jeans, crocs, and mullet-esque haircuts are MUCH sexier and creative for sure. Hahahha.

Didn't it occur to any of them that for it to be an effective substitute for a medic alert bracelet it would say what illness you had? Otherwise it's almost as useless as not wearing one, really.
