British father of three Dean Mayhew, who became famous for having a barcode of his Tesco Clubcard tattooed on his own wrist, has unexpectedly announced that he no longer visits this supermarket. According to him, the prices no longer justify the loyalty, and the card itself stopped providing tangible benefits. The story, which went viral in 2022 and became a symbol of brand devotion, is now taking a different turn: even the most striking tattoo won’t keep a customer when the grocery bill becomes unaffordable for a family.

Mariska de Jong — World Champion in Breast Micropigmentation
Every areola is as unique as a fingerprint or an iris pattern. This is the thought that Mariska de Jong, a 45-year-old tattoo artist from Breda (Netherlands), repeats when talking about her work. Since October 25, she has been officially recognized as the world champion in breast micropigmentation for patients who have undergone mastectomies or other oncology-related surgeries.

13 Virat Kohli Tattoos: Hidden Meanings and Symbols
When people talk about Virat Kohli, they first think of his batting, his records, and his legendary thirst for victory on the field.

For tattoo culture, this is a telling case: athletes are increasingly using their bodies as a chronicle, rather than just a place for fashionable ornaments.
Tattoos in honor of “Blue Texas”: how art celebrates political victories
Kristin Rhodes lies in a chair at the 444 Tattoo studio in Austin, breathing deeply as artist Jordan Hughes applies a stencil of a bluebonnet—the Texas state flower—to her right forearm. She is afraid of needles, and this is only her second tattoo ever: she got her first one impulsively on her thigh many years ago. But this one, highly visible and permanent, feels both deliberate and spontaneous—it marks the moment her home state “turned blue.”
Britney Spears shows off a new snake tattoo on her glute
Pop icon Britney Spears is back in the spotlight — and this time, it’s not because of legal proceedings, but thanks to a fresh decision in the realm of body art. In a late-night video posted to Instagram, the 44-year-old singer performed a fiery dance routine in a black lace bodysuit with a deep neckline and a thong cut, and as she moved, a new tattoo came into view: a red snake design on her glute. For fans and tattoo industry experts, the appearance of such an image on the body of one of the most recognizable artists on the planet became a reason to discuss both the work itself and the circumstances under which it appeared.
