I am visually impaired and I always wanted a tattoo but didn't know what good it would be. I love this idea because not only is it something I can feel, but it is private, almost a joke because most people do not read Braille (unless they are blind). This is so awesome!

My parents are both blind, and my sister and I both have several tattoos. At first, both of my parents were kind of grossed out by the idea of tattoos. I started teaching high school a few years ago, and had a sort of realization about what they went through raising kids. So, as a tribute, I got my last name tattooed in Braille. My parents got to read it while it was healing and still raised, which ended up being a pretty cool experience. I think it’s an interesting concept.

You could reach your hand over and feel it on your arm, like you could look at it if you were sighted. I seems more like something you would get for yourself if you were blind.
