A Brooklyn, NY man died as a result of a "bizarre tattoo parlor incident"   The man had just finished getting a tattoo called "Last Rites" when he got up from his chair and fainted, hitting his head on a glass counter which broke and slashed his neck.   He died at an area hospital.

The man's mother told reporters he suffered from dizzy spells but never went to the doctor because he did not have health insurance.   What this has to do with the story, I can't say but I suppose he died from:

1) the "Last Rites" tattoo,
2) his neck being cut open by a busted glass counter,
3) lack of health insurance, or
4) a combination of any two or all three.

I'd have to guess that it was the bleed out from the cut neck thing by itself.   I don't know the answer to this but, is an uninsured doctor's office visit any more expensive than an elaborate tattoo?
