My new tatt. The brain injury ribbon redesigned to reflect 26 post TBI years and the fact that due to said injury I'm a little worn and frayed now!

😍 wow!! Love it! Can we see where it wraps around your arm too please?? I've got two sleeves myself, I can see how thought provoking it's going to be! I hope you get loads of questions about it! Good job 🤗

Yes, it wraps around my elbow to give the appearance of my arm being through the ribbon. I’ll put another pic up later...

Brain injury ribbon.....is it really a 'thing' and, If so, how come I'm only hearing of it now ?

Very impressive tattoo Andy. x

Yeah, the ribbon has been doing the rounds for a few years now, epilepsy has the same ribbon, but in purple

If I'd had it done a couple of months earlier you could have signed it :)

I Googled it and was surprised to see there are coloured ribbons for every condition. I'd need a green, pink, blue, burgundy, teal, red and purple apparently, so could be a pretty costly tattoo!

I wanted a modest, white dove tattoo for my 50th birthday but was told at various studios that they didn't do white..??😧 x

They most certainly do, there's a hint of white in my ribbon tatt

I think it was something to do with the fact I didn't want a dark outline ; an all white dove ? ……..women honestly ! x
