Tattoo’s make the news in South Africa

On the 26th of December 1961 'The Johannesburg Star' newspaper of South Africa reported on the story of Jacobus Van-Dyn. 

Van-Dyn was in London trying to sell his tattooed head, Van-Dyn told the paper that his head would be hacked off upon his death and then given to whoever bought it. Of course it never happened and when Jacobus passed away in the early 1980’s his head went with him to the grave.
