Joy Tomkins, 81, had "Do Not Resuscitate" tattooed on her chest. On her back, it says "P.T.O." (please turn over) with an arrow. From the BBC:

The grandmother, who is diabetic but said she was not seriously ill, said she got the idea from a retired nurse, who did something similar in 2003.

She said her willingness to not be resuscitated would "save money" for the NHS.

Mrs Tomkins, who went to a tattoo parlour to get her message done, said she was happy with life but stated she would be "just as happy" not to wake up in the morning.
