Many of us keep mementoes of loved ones who’ve died, from letters they wrote to jewellery with sentimental meaning. But given the chance, would you opt to keep a tattoo from someone after they’ve passed away? A team of funeral directors have launched a business allowing family members to keep the tattooed skin of the deceased and display it as art. Since launching last year, Save My Ink Forever has had hundreds of customers in the US and is now hoping to extend its client base overseas. The business is ran by Kyle Sherwood along with his father Mike and another friend, who’s also a funeral embalmer. The trio came up with the idea after a casual chat with friends in the funeral business about post-death keepsakes. As many in the group have tattoos, the topic came up naturally in conversation. - ADVERTISEMENT - “All of our tattoos have deep meaning - meaning enough to put it on ourselves for life to proudly display,” Kyle told The Huffington Post UK.

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: “Upon officer arrival, the man was taken to hospital with injuries to his foot, where he remains. “There are not believed to be any other parties involved and the incident is not being investigated as a crime.” An eyewitness told the Sheffield Star: “A man went into Wilkinson’s Haymarket, went upstairs to the electrical aisle, picked up some bolt cutters, chopped his big toe off and stood eating it. “The aisle was taped off until police and forensics went.”       source: huffingtonpost.co.uk

A passenger on a Chinese flight threw coins into a plane engine in an apparent attempt to bring about good luck.

Mayor of the Zambian capital, Lusaka, has become the butt of social media trolls after he was photographed sleeping in public. The photo which showed Wilson Kalumba, 53, in what was a deep sleep went viral on Zambia’s social media scene – Facebook and Twitter especially. The photo has sparked social media debate as a number of people are already calling for his impeachment. Others have mocked him for having nothing to do hence choosing to sleep at a public event. It has gone as far as people questioning why the ruling Patriotic Front chose him as their candidate for the role at a time when a former First Lady, Maureem Mwanawasa, had also vied for the same post. The 53-year-old has been championing a number of unpopular decisions with respect to running Lusaka. He is on record to have asked for all demolition of all airtime vending kiosks, deducting talk-time credits to cater for garbage collection and proposing cremation to decongest graveyards.
