Okay, so I’ve seen the kiddy temporary tattoos with spaces for contact info before, but my dear friend adoptingmama found some really awesome ones.

Mind you, they’ve been blogged before, I was just really impressed that they have autism specific ones, pre-printed food allergy models, and even special “non-verbal” and “non-verbal autism” editions.

How great is that?! I would have killed for these when we had Bug at Disneyland. Bug’s better than she used to be – she might actually give her name if she was asked – but back when she was still largely non-verbal, something like this would have been wonderful for the zoo, the fair, or pretty much anything else like that. And as silly as it sounds, I really appreciate the tactful graphics for the autism and non-verbal tats – it’s an emotional subject for both parents and children, and physically labeling your child with a big AUTISM tat can be a little stressful, for both kids and adults. It shows a lot of sensitivity, or at least I see it that way.

I really need to get off my hiney and order some and see how they go over, both in a “Are they Bug-proof?” and “Are they Bug-compatible?” way. Which is to say, will she let me put them on and will they stay there once I do.
