We Have A Winner
For the strangest tattoo I believe we have a winner with 81 year old Joy Tomkins. Having decided she does not want to endure a lingering death as her husband did she had the medical phrase Do Not Resuscitate tattooed on her chest. Also, being very serious about the decision, she had PTO and an arrow tattooed on her back. You know, in case she collapses face forward and, I don't know, they start CPR on her back I guess. There is a picture of the tat at the link.(the front one anyway)

DNRs are very serious, if a medical professional violates one they can be charged with assault. That said, if a family member is present and insists on CPR it will be done. In most cases anyway, as the family can sue just as well as the patient. Let's put it this way, I have never seen or heard of a patient not getting resuscitated when a family member is present calling for it to be done regardless of there being a DNR in place. So this lady better make sure her family is in line with this or that when the time comes that none of them are present.

Or one on her rump saying "turn over, before inserting tab "A" into slot "B"".
Or another on the rear saying "open other end to insert food".

You never know what people like, she may have one that says Deliveries are accepted in the rear.

@Patty:
Can I sue a hospital because I'm not getting sick and, therefore, missing out on all the attention I'd be getting if I were?
Just askin'.
