Medicinal Tattoos

Tattoo Arm holding DogIn a strange tale – a pet owner had a problem with her small border collie dog.  Whenever he was exposed to the sun for any length of time, he would get a sunburn on his nose.  Since the dog loved being outside, the pet owner brought it up on one of the dog’s visits to the vet.  He suggested tattooing the dog’s nose.  It has a sun-blocking pigment and can fix the problem.  This is a new one on me.  Tattoos are used in a somewhat related way for humans. There is a rare skin disorder that causes skin blisters when they are exposed to the sun. Julia Gnuse is one such sufferer – and she has over 90 percent of her body covered with body art.   The reason is not to prevent blistering – but to hide the scars.
