"I think I can be trusted and she can trust me. I believe her when she says she loves me ands I know I mean it when I say I love her. "We got each other's initial tattooed in little hearts.

The Next Big Thing, according to 31-year-old Joe Tamargo: The body is a billboard. Tamargo, who runs a Web site LivingAdSpace.com, has started a new enterprise, selling advertisers the opportunity to permanently tattoo their messages on his body. After posting his offer on eBay, the responses began to trickle in. Two advertisers earned spots on his right arm - and put a little more than $1,000 in his pocket. A California pharmaceutical company last week posted an ad for pilldaddy.com for $500. On Thursday, Tamargo earned $510 to have "Save Martha! It's a good thing. SaveMartha.com" permanently etched farther down the same arm. "They say there's nothing better in advertising than word of mouth," said Tamargo, who lives on Long Island.

The unnamed man had gone for a heart by pass at Leeds General Infirmary but needed a vein to be removed from his tattooed leg to complete the operation. Surgeons decided to cut through his "I Love Women" tattoo, but failed to notice when they sewed him up that they had changed it to "I Love Men". According to the Daily Mirror, the man is now so embarrassed by his altered body art that he refuses to wear shorts in public and is moving to demand compensation from the hospital, which has admitted its mistake. It has led to the British Medical Journal issuing a warning to doctors calling for care when dealing with tattooed skin. ***
