Was it 4 passengers and a driver? Did everyone in the car survive? Give details about the condition of the other people. This might help me give you an idea.

There was a 16 year old driver, Jake. It was illegal for Jake to have us in the car because his 6 months weren't up yet. Me, Mike was in the front passenger seat. My best friend Lucas was behind me, also 15. Next to him was another 16 year old, Dylan. Everyone in the car survived with not as bad injuries as me. If you want a lot of details then I will give you them... 12:34 a.m when we got in the accident. We were going about 90 mph... The police report hasn't came out yet so we don't know that for sure. We first rolled going on my side. Rolled a few times, hit the ditch and flew in the air until we hit a tree. Lucas climbed out of the car and so did Dylan. It took them an hour and 10 minutes to get me out of the car, an hour and 20 minutes to get Jake out of the car. He was impaled against a fence post... a fence post that went through the bottm of his leg and came out his butt cheek. I was in the hospital for about a month. Harborview Medical center for 10 days and then went to Children's hospital for rehab... Walking, Speech, Ocupational Therapy. I got a broken right clavicle and a broken growth plate on my right wrist. Fractured the bones around my right eye. With a severe traumatic brain injury. My brain had excessive sheering. Any more questions? You should watch the video on http://www.komotv.com/news/9031937.html....kinda cool, the information is mostly wrong but the video shows pictures of the car and stuff

All of our initials are MG, JJ, DW, LM if that helps

Wow, I'm glad you are OK. I'm not sure what to tell you to get for a tattoo. Just make sure it is something you will always want. Also make sure you go to a good place when you get it done. If you're under 18, you'll need your folks to say it's OK for you to get the tattoo also.

A friend of mine was in a bad car wreck and survived. She got a tattoo on the back of her shoulder. It is an angel and she has the date of the car wreck in calligraphy letters. It looks pretty cool.

My dad wants to get the same thing with me... Thanks for the advice though... I will look into that

peggyhill · Dec 22, 2007, 02:39 PM

That's cool that your dad is doing it with you!

Peggys idea is great.. dont get me wrong but I just want a couple of different choices to choose from and take into consideration so I would like some more imput on what I should do

mstkay76 · Dec 22, 2007, 02:54 PM

Do you believe in God or a higher power of any sort? That would be a major theme (religious) for most that survived such and if you don't believe in such then we need to know before giving you a bunch of ideas that you won't be interested in.

Personally, I would have the date tattooed with perhaps the hand of God holding it or something of the like...

The more detailed you get (pictures of cars, trees, etc.) the longer it will take and the more it's going to hurt and the longer it will take to heal. Since it's your first one and your body is still trying to heal from the accident, you might go simple with it until later when you can add onto it.

Also, make CERTAIN to check out the artist's work. Talk to some people he/she has worked on in the past and look at the artwork after it's been there for a year. You really want to make sure you get a good artist the first time rather than having to correct it later.

Good luck with your continued recovery and I hope you like your tattoo.

Yes I believe in God and am closer to him since the accident. I don't really want anything too detailed right now. Just something simple but unique

Hello y:

I think you should have little footprints emerge from your belly button, do some running around, and disappear up your bum.

It doesn't have anything to do with your accident, but I just think it would be a cool tattoo.
