Crohn's Disease Tattoo and a 9 year old's Definition of Crohn's

So my ex got a blue Crohn's disease ribbon tattoo on her foot, which has since been covered up. Thank God. But if anyone has a Crohn's Disease related tattoo I would love to see it.


Also I had to share the story of when she just asked her 9 year old what Crohn's disease was. His response: "Crohn's Disease is a disease that makes you crap yourself."

Update: I did find one on discovery.com that represents the guy's battle with Crohn's. Click the crohn's tattoo image for details.

Kids say the funniest things, wonder what my son will say about Crohn's when he is older.

It is great to have such support, the tattoo sounds very cool.

While helping my son write a personal narrative about Crohns, I came across your blog. I am a 47 year women with Crohns. My 21 year old son, in college, also a runner and soccer player, also in marketing, was just diagnosed with Crohn's. HE had to do a paper on genetics for biology. I have to admit that I laughed until I had tears coming down. Only a family with a member having Crohn's can appreciate a poop joke. I think I've heard them all. What we can all survive with a little humor in our lives. Good luck to you .... LKB

I have had Crohn's for 35 years. My doctor says I am his "best Crohn's patient" because I have a positive attitude and a good sense of humor. When I was 35, I had an eye exam, the Tech reading my chart said, "I see you have Crohn's. My sister had Crohn's. She died when she was 40." She tried to take the words back.. too late. I just laughed at her discomfort and said, "Sorry about your sister." Frame of mind is everything! Don't let the disease win!
