As you may be aware last week we asked readers to to share their autism or ASD related body art. You can see the original blog post here – https://patienttalk.org/autism-do-you-have-an-autism-related-tattoo-would-you-share-it-with-other-members-of-the-autism-community/
In fact the response to our request for your autism tattoos has been so overwhelming that we have started a new page to cover showcase the new ASD related body art.

So please feel free to post a picture of you tattoo in the comments section of this blog. If this proves a problem you can email your picture to us at patienttalkblog@gmail.com and we will post them on your behalf.

I got this tattoo for 2 very special autistic children in my life. I am their bus driver and I’ve been driving them to school since 2005. They are both now in Middle School. The caterpillar represents them when I first started driving them at ages 3 and 5 years old. The butterfly represents as they are now….growing and learning. When they graduate, I will add a flying butterfly. =)
my tattoo for my little cousin and best friend. love him no matter what x
myates26 From the I love you forever book right? Super creative.
My name is Valrie, from Amarillo, TX. I drew up this piece myself, the free flowing autism ribbon signifying that they are not bound by their autism, but can be freed by it if they choose. The floating hearts with their names in them signify that they can rise above their labels and stand out in positive ways.

Hello my name is joe and this is my warrior of autism he brings awareness to the masses and fights against ignorance
Ohh great my son is 11 , he was like Dad I’m not 8…lol
That’s Awesome, my wife calls me JP
I love the tattoo’s, I know how you feel when going to the Store it happens alot but i had a Hat that says Autism support educate advocate i wear it alot so we get less Stares also I am a stay at home Dad my Son Brian who is 8 is high functioning Autistic Jim
my asperger’s ribbon
Here are two autism awareness ribbons that represent my son Lukas three years old and my daughter Ella that is two years old. They both have been diagnosed with autism. My son is verbal and daughter is non-verbal. It’s tough to be a stay at home dad or even when we just go to the store. I just wish people wouldn’t be so judgmental when we are out, It takes everything I have to not rip someone’s face off when they stare or make remarks about the way they act. Dad keeps his cool though.
hi my name is lorraine and this is my tattoo for my son
This is my autism tribute tattoo dedicated to my 3 wonderfully children Deborah, Brandon and Nicholas. They are all on the spectrum: one high functioning, one middle and one lower end.
myates26 Sounds like JP he has his older siblings as body guards to. I love when siblings stand up for our ASD children where others wouldn’t.
Just got mine 2 weeks ago for my son. His name is Johnathon but we call him JP,I let him decide what one he wants from 3 different designs and I knew he would pick the train cause he LOVES his trains. This is by far the most amazing tat I have and I have about 20 of them.
for my son Jacob
Me and my husband’s tattoo for our son Aidan.
Hi! My name is Marcy from Broken Bow, NE. Here is the tattoo I had done on Friday with my mom and sisters. It is the second line in a 4 line poem but I added the Autism symbol for my 6 year old son Zander! He is my youngest child but the light of my life. His on the high functioning end of the ADS but is still behind other children his age. His older sisters are his body guards and his dad and I his teachers. 🙂 I love my family!
Here is a pick of my custom Autism Awareness guitar built by Moniker Guitars out of Austin, Tx. My son Zachary is 9 years old and non-verbal, but he loves music. I couldn’t think of a better way to honor him and help bring awareness to a disorder that crippling our children.
I love the tattoos here.. I just got one for my son Jaylen yesterday
It’s not a tattoo, but I did have a custom Autism Awareness Guitar made in honor of my 9 year old son, Zachary.
This is my “Light it Up Blue” tattoo 🙂 I love it!
