Offered Body For Sale To Complete Tattooing Design
The current issue of the medical journal, The Lancet, prints a letter from a 27-year-old Australian, who states that his body "is at the moment nicely tatooed, mostly ail over," and who offers to sell it on his death to a university or a medical school. "If I can sell it for a few pounds now," says the writer, "I can carry on to become the most beautifully tattooed man in Australasia."
