Mies pääsee eroon jättipeniksestä selässään

Tatuointipilan kohteeksi joutunut mies on pääsemässä eroon jättipeniksestä selässään.

Tatuointipilan vuoksi 40-senttisen peniksen selkäänsä saanut mies on pääsemässä eroon selkäänsä "komistavasta" jättipeniksestä.

Tökerö tatuointi tehtiin miehen selkään viime vuoden loppupuolella. Jättipeniksen tatuoi miehen selkään pilana tämän entinen ystävä.

Mies oli halunnut Yin ja Yang-kuvion sekä lohikäärmeen. Hän yllättyi kuitenkin ikävästi nähtyään lopputuloksen.

Tapauksesta kuultuaan Ipswichissä sijaitseva tatuointiliike lupasi peittää tatuoinnin uudella ilmaiseksi.

– Minusta tällaisen (tatuoinnin) tekeminen on vaan niin väärin, tatuointiliikkeen omistaja Janelle Roberts toteaa Queensland Times -lehdessä.

Penistatuoinnin peittäminen vaatii useita kivuliaita tatuointeja.

Jättipeniksen selkäänsä saanut mies kertoo olevansa yhä katkera pilasta. Hän uskoo kuitenkin pääsevänsä asiasta yli uuden tatuoinnin avulla.

Thailand wants Buddha tattoo ban for tourists
Culture minister says tattoos deemed 'fashionable' by visitors seen by many Thais as offensive and disrespectful

Tourists visiting Thailand should be barred from getting culturally insensitive Buddhist tattoos, the culture ministry says.

Niphit Intharasombat, the culture minister, said residents have complained that tattoo parlours are etching sacred images of Buddha and other religious images on to the skin of non-Buddhist visitors.

"Foreigners see these tattoos as fashion," Niphit said on the ministry's website.

They do not think of respecting religion, or they may not be aware that these tattoos can be offensive, he added.

Thailand is mostly Buddhist, and Buddha statues and images are considered sacred objects of worship.

Niphit said the culture ministry had asked Thai tattoo parlours to halt the activity.

According to the official news agency, NNT, he also asked provincial governors to "inspect tattoo studios and seek their co-operation".

NNT also claimed Niphit wants a new law banning the practice.

Thailand Wants to Ban Tourists From Getting Buddha Tattoos

In the same way that Muslims don't want the image of Muhammad to appear anywhere, Thai officials are looking to ban tourists from getting tattoos of Buddha.

Although it isn't yet illegal in Thailand, a mostly Buddhist country, for tourists to ink the enlightened one on their bodies, Culture Minister Niphit Intharasombat said in a statement that his office has received complaints from residents that the practice is growing rampant and is disrespectful and insensitive.

The ministry has called on tattoo parlors across Thailand to stop drawing Buddha on people's bodies because his image is sacred and has asked provincial governors to inspect parlors to assure that they are not defying the decree.

This initiative isn't the first instance that a group of people are speaking out in the name of their sacred objects of worship. Muslims across the globe have cried foul when the image of Muhammad has been reproduced. Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten came under fire in 2005 when it printed drawings of Islam's prophet. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have included Muhammad in their story line three times and were ordered not to air one in which his image appeared. And Danish artist Kurt Westergaard has been in hiding ever since 2006, when he drew a cartoon of Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban.
