Eaten alive by flesh eating tattoo

I keep up with news from New Zealand and the Pacific Islands through a great news site www.stuff.co.nz. I found this story amazingly interesting and amazingly scary. Three men are in hospital after getting infected by necrotising fasciitis from unsafe tattoo practices. I don't think I'll get any tattoos done in Samoa (which btw is supposed to be pronouced emphasizing the first syllable...not the second as it is pronouced in Canada).

The tattoo's were actually done in New Zealand, using a traditioanl Samoan tattoo instrument made from a boars tusk.

Ah...I missed that.

So...I don't think I'll go back to NZ and get tattoos done, especially with boars tusk.
