What is symbolic for Crohn's disease?

[Brad]

I have wanted a tattoo for a while now, but not of some random design. I wanted a tattoo that ment something to me. And Crohn's disease has had a big impact on my life. So what could i get to represent Crohn's disease? Thanks

Brad, aren't you far too young for a tattoo?

I've seen some people get a ; as a tattoo. Semi-Colon......very creative I think.

And there is a symbol for one of the Crohn's Disease Foundations that is really cool.

And the Ribbons for IBD (Blue) or Crohn's (Purple)......but they are Blue and Purple.

I don't know if those links work

Your welcome, I will never get a tattoo but I have a few shirts with the logo and my husband has a black shirt and I a white one. I think it it cool.

 

[kello82]

i think that ones really cool too! i posted a link to it but its kinda tiny, your pic was much better, jetta. ive seen people in fb groups with it too centaur, it looks good on skin.

i love tattoos... the pics posted are cool, i would have suggested the same crohn's colitis/ibd foundation symbols other people have posted, but the semi-colon thing is pretty clever! i've never seen or heard of that as a symbol... i like that idea.

I got my diagnosis date tattooed, it was an important day and it may not be a symbol but it still represents the disease. im thinking about adding a ribbon to it though.

I have been thinking about something around my scar from my stoma. It is about 1 inch in diameter. Some kid at the Y is supposed to design me something but I haven't seen him in awhile. I was thinking like a timepiece. Since I "lost" about 3 years of a "normal" life it would remind me to never take things for granted. Not sure if it is recommended you get a tattoo anywhere near a scar though.

ryan, maybe you could incorporate a Chronos/Khronos motif?

Not having a creative bone in my body, could someone show me some ideas for the semi colon tat? Thanks
