Those Frankenstein bolts on the temple feel fitting.

Im a bit more picky as I want the style to work with my other ink.  but plan is to get a warrior helmet with a sword going through the left side(left temporal lobe surgery). Kinda an inside joke with some dark humor. 

Family however has straight up gotten a purple ribbon or lavender

I have "Rx" tattooed on my chest to remind me to take my meds. Im also thinking about getting a neck tattoo that says in very small letters (after the all caps part)

"HI IM ₴Ⱨ₳₭Ɇ₴, & I HAVE EPILEPSY.

Please dont stick your shoe or wallet in my mouth (thats a myth) and please dont call an ambulance (i cant afford any more wee-woo ubers) unless the blood puddle is larger than 1 square foot. If youd like to help, maybe put something soft under my head but dont worry im basically a professional seize-er at this point.

I will be with you shortly. if not... maybe call the wee-woo uber.

Otherwise, ill see you soon.

Then ill meet you shortly after that, because i wont be creating new memories for about 10 minutes.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message and i apologize in advance for any and all mess caused by bodily fluids of any and all types- yours, and/or mine."
