well, i am a tattoo person as you can see from my pics and i would like to get a new tatt to mark this period in my life. if it was breast cancer i would have a really cool pink ribbon drawn and that would be that tatt, but is there anything like that for alopecia? is there any kind of symbol? if not, any ideas would be great.

Hi lenn,
I have a girl dragon tattoo (with long eyelashes), an airplane that represents my former employment as a flight attendant, a motorcycle like our real one, parked under a tree and a picture of my cat. Look on Dotty's page to see her tattoos. mine are all on my head and Dotty's are too!! I LOVE having them!!! You can use the NAAF tree if you want a symbol or whatever has meaning in your life!

thats so cool debbi! i am actually having someone draw up the blue ribbon and she has some different ideas about how to make it unique. i like the dragon idea. i have several and will be getting several more. i always say that if my hair falls out and doesn't grow back, i will start on the scalp - then there would be no reason not too. although i can't even imagine the pain, the tops of my feet were pretty hard to sit through.

It DID hurt on my head. But not so bad that it stopped me from getting them! I look kinda funny without hair so I figured why not tattoo? It gets me lots of attention at motorcycle events. Big biker guys come up to me as ask, "heh, lady, did that hurt?" or, "Heh, Lady, nice ink!" It's a blast. I can't imagine now, NOT having them!!! It's too fun!

Not a bad idea, I'll have to see if I have room still!!

I have done some googling... has anyone else found that there is a stock photo for a dandelion that says it is for alopecia? Is this considered a symbol for alopecia? I would love to use it!
