    Hi, posted earlier in this thread....type 1 diabetic now for 28 years (now 39 years old ). Have now got two full arm sleeves both around 20 hours each. Also have added a large chest plate. In four weeks I'm starting a full back piece tattoo. We are booked in for 8 sessions two weeks apart. I can honestly say I've never had any healing issues. Your Dad's onto it though by trying to lower his A1c...the tighter the control the better obviously....but he shouldn't be put off by Internet stories....it is easily do able with common sense and good control ! To your Dad I say go for it !

    Hi guys, been enjoying reading the various threads over the last couple of months or so. 4 sessions through my a full arm sleeve with 1 session to go next week. Cheers :D

    Hi there, I am a type 1 diabetic that is 4 sessions into a full arm sleeve. 1 more to go in the next week. I have been raising my blood sugars slightly on the day of the session to avoid any issues with hypos. I'll take with me a powerade and choc bar also just in case. Before and after however as you said having tight control is the key. The sessions are two weeks apart and I have had no issues with healing. The ink as far as I know is the same as anyone else gets ! I think the skill of the artist is going to be key in regards to holding lines and blowing out etc. If his control is in check then he should be ok. Never heard of taking anti biotics but i guess this is important with the auto immune issues. Good luck !
