So,

I've had clubbing induced tinnitus now for nearly 6 months, and i've decided that I want my next tattoo to in some way represent tinnitus. Any ideas on what a good pictorial represntation would be.

Im thinking two speakers, wi 'T' in between em

btw.....i don't mean to cause any offence with this post. I feel that it would be kind of interesting to incorporate my experience of tinnitus into my next tattoo. I know a lot of ppl will think im crazy....but if anybody does have a good idea plz feel free to let me know.

I think that would be a pretty good tattoo, and the two speakers with a T in between them is a good idea. I’m young only 20 so maybe that’s why I like the idea so much. Tattoos are a form of expression and it’s really hard to express something that only you could hear and not many people understand or even know about.

what a stupid idea.

Well you had better make sure that your tattoo is temporary as come 20-40 years tinnitus will be a thing of the past!

Each to his own!!!

Tinnitus is the LAST thing I would put on a tatoo. Every time you see it you will be reminded of it. I struggle to forget it as it is!

Why not spend the money on printed T shirts which might get folk asking you about tinnitus.

What a great idea. It shows that you have a healthy attitude to your t which is what this battle we all face is all about really.

You really get a sense of differences between people dated attitude with this thread.

Good on you Sonny.

How about a Hazard sign behind each ear? Only joking.

I have thought about the exact same since T has had such a profound impact on my life. It was a big wake up-call for me and all though it is a pain it has sort of become a part of me. I have thought of some sort of sound waves if that makes any sense. Possibly in addition with a quote, but i have not gotten it "together" yet.
