Getting a tattoo from the EDS friendly tattoo artist in my town today. I’m still recovering from that difficult therapy appointment yesterday. This is my harm reduction. 😌

I got the tattoo. That tattoo artist was so great. It felt like getting a tattoo from a friend. I went from feeling depressed to not feeling bad anymore.

hi! i also have eds and i’ve gotten a tattoo. it’s right above my ankle so we weren’t really worried about stretching. if im planning on getting something on the back of my arm would you recommend trying to find an eds friendly artist

Tbh, I found this tattoo artist after she made a post on her instagram talking about EDS and chronic pain. I am not entirely sure how to find EDS tattoo artists in general though, but a good tip would be maybe having conversations with tattoo artists ahead of time around EDS and see if they would be able to accommodate you and to take more breaks as needed and stuff. Try to feel them out when you tell them your needs about EDS. I hope that can help
