A case study in the Journal of General Internal Medicine described doctors discovering a diabetic man who was in hospital for a leg amputation but had "D.N.R" tattooed on his chest.
In that case, the patient claimed to have had the tattoo after losing a bet and told doctors he did not think anyone would take it seriously.
