Buttock Tattoo Terror Lands Rotherham Pair In Hospital



A furious row has broken out between a local tattoo artist and his client after what started out as a routine inking session, left both of them requiring emergency hospital treatment.



Vintage film fan and part time plus size model Tracey Munter (23), had visited the Ink It Good Tattoo Emporium on Wellgate last week to have the finishing touches applied to a double buttock representation of the chariot race scene from the iconic 1959 film, Ben Hur. Tattooist Jason Burns takes up the story.



“It was a big job in more ways than one.” he told us “I’d just lit a roll up and was finishing off a centurions helmet. It’s delicate, close up work. Next thing is, I sense a slight ripple in the buttock cleavage area just around Charlton Heston’s whip, and a hissing sound – more of a whoosh than a rasp – and before I know what’s happening, there’s a flame shooting from her arse to my fag and my beards gone up like an Aussie bush fire.”



Jason says he rushed to the studio sink to quell the flames, only to turn round and see Tracey frantically fanning her buttock area with a damp towel. The flames had travelled down the gas cloud and set fire to her thong which was smoking like a cheap firework.



“To be honest”, said Jason, “I didn’t even realise she was wearing one. You’d need a sodding mining licence and a torch to find out for sure. She could have had a complete wardrobe in there and I’d have been none the wiser.”
Jason and Tracey were taken to Rotherham District Hospital accident and emergency department where they were treated for minor burns and shock. Both are adamant that the other is to blame.
“I’m furious” said Jason, “I’ve got a face like a mange-ridden dog and my left eyebrows not there any more. I don’t know about Ben Hur – Gone With The Wind’s more like it. You don’t just let rip in someone’s face like that. It’s dangerous.”
But Tracey remains both angry and unrepentant;
“I’m still in agony,” she said, “And Charlton Heston looks more like Sidney bloody Poitier now. Jason shouldn’t have had a fag on the go and there’s no way I’d guff on purpose. He’d had me on all fours for nearly an hour. I can only put up with that for so long before nature takes its course. My Kev knows that. I give him my five second warning and I’d have done the same for Jason, but I didn’t get chance – it just crept out.”
Ted Walters from the South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service wasn’t surprised when we told him what had happened “People just don’t appreciate the dangers…“ he told us, “We get called out to more flatulence ignition incidents than kitchen fires these days, now people have moved over to oven chips. We have a slogan ‘Flame ‘n fart – keep ’em apart’. Anyone engaging in an arse inking scenario would do well to bear that in mind in future.”

I’m all for banning smoking now. I didn’t realise the risks!

While I agree that smoking is dangerous, I personally smoke in small amounts and find that vaping is a healthier alternative when used in moderation.I’ve noticed that vaping allows for more control over what I’m inhaling, plus it’s easier to enjoy without the same risks of igniting something unexpectedly. I always recommend being mindful of the environment you’re in, especially in situations like tattoos, where the focus should be on the art rather than potential hazards.For anyone looking to explore vaping, I’ve had a good experience with the Geek Bar Pulse X Platinum Edition. It’s all about finding what works best for you!

Do you know much about Göbekli Tepe?

Do you know much about Göbekli Tepe?

Didn't he lead a group of terrorists that took the employees at Nakatomi Plaza hostage during their Christmas party December 24th, 1988?

Do you know much about Göbekli Tepe?

Check Dr Daniel Mansfield from UNSW. Went done a rabbit hole. Dude is single handedly decoding ancient tablets and shit. Solved Plimpton 422.

You evacuating mate?

Just keeping an eye on it at the moment as it keeps inching. I’m still about 700-800m away. Helicopters were dumping monsoon buckets of water this afternoon but it looks like they might be letting it burn itself out? Breaks my heart all the wildlife in there perishing

Stay safe mate!

Cheers mate. Seems to be in a sort of semi circle, the burning and intensifying on the far side. Fire trucks have returned over there obviously concerned. Not sure how this has started? But if it’s weather conditions, it’s a bit of a concern not even being summer yet

Under control and stayed safe mate?

Probably started with someone doing a bonfire after a clear up at this time of year.

These sort of fires can flare ups for weeks later underground so stay vigilant.

Safe here thanks mate. Helicopters have resumed this morning. Could well have started from a burn pile? Someone will be in shit street if that’s the case

Glad you are safe mate.

Archaeologists discover ‘significant’ permanent side-effect of smoking​

Archaeologists say tobacco consumption leaves a metabolic record that can be studied for centuries​

Tobacco leaves traces in the bones of smokers lasting not only throughout their lives but for centuries after their deaths, research by archaeologistshas revealed.

Researchers from the University of Leicester have studied human remains buried in Britain between the 12th and 19th centuries, revealing the profound impact of tobacco on bones and its link to bone-related conditions, such as an increased risk of fractures.

The study highlights how the introduction of tobacco to Western Europe around 500 years ago led to significant changes in human skeletal structure

Traditionally, archaeologists relied on dental evidence to determine if a skeleton belonged to a smoker, looking for stains or wear caused by pipe use. But this method often proved ineffective when teeth were missing or did not survive.

Using mass spectroscopy, the researchers analysed the molecular composition of the bones, identifying 45 distinct molecular features that differentiated the bones of smokers from non-smokers.

The study, published in Science Advances, reads: “Tobacco consumption leaves a metabolic record in human bone distinctive enough to identify its use in individuals of unknown tobacco consumption.

“Archaeological human skeletal remains have the potential to provide direct evidence that can be used to study past pathological and health conditions, including diseases associated with tobacco use.”

Dr Sarah Inskip, a co-author of the study, said: “Our research shows significant differences in the molecular features of bones from past tobacco users and non-users. This finding indicates that tobacco use impacts the structure of our skeletons.

“Our ongoing research aims to understand how these differences emerge, which may have implications for understanding why tobacco use is a risk factor for certain musculoskeletal and dental disorders.”

While the detrimental effects of smoking on soft tissues and organs - such as increased risks of lung, bladder, and throat cancers, as well as stroke and coronary artery disease - are well-documented, the impact on bones has been less studied.
The University of Leicester team examined 323 cortical bones, the dense outer layer that gives bones their strength, of known tobacco users and those with unknown smoking histories

Smoking has been associated with bone-related conditions, including low bone density, an increased risk of fractures, and periodontitis.

This research not only sheds light on the historical prevalence of smoking but also underscores the extensive and enduring impact of tobacco on human health, offering valuable insights into the skeletal consequences of this widespread habit.

Fire about 200m away now but a paddock between swamp and house. Hoping it stops there

Hey bruz, hope you and family safe, if you safely able to do so hose down the roof to stop any stray embers catching, sounds like plenty of fire fighters around so in good hands.

Legend. I’m unprepared as for this. Heats certainly noticeable now. Stayed home because I noticed it heading this way, can’t do much but this is helpful cheers

My ranger friend that works with bush fires reckons swimming pool/ pond running a few sprinklers on the roof, since you ain't got that likely, damp t shirt around face for smoke, Google's if you got them and set hose running up on roof best you can.
Also reckons there'll likely be a plane with water/foam on standby if the fire jumps the wetland.
You'll be sweet as basically
