Cameroon's breast ironing tradition
Breast ironing tradition targeted in Cameroon
From Nkepile Mabuse, CNN
(CNN) -- Every morning before school, nine-year-old Terisia Techu would undergo a painful procedure. Her mother would take a burning hot pestle straight out of a fire and use it to press her breasts.
With tears in her eyes as she recalls what it was like, Terisia tells CNN that one day the pestle was so hot, it burned her, leaving a mark. Now 18, she is still traumatized.
Her mother, Grace, denies the incident. But she proudly demonstrates the method she used on her daughter for several weeks, saying the goal was to make her less desirable to boys -- and stave off pregnancy.
A study found that one in four girls in Cameroon have been affected by the practice.
The U.S. State Department, in its 2010 human rights report on Cameroon, cited news reports and said breast ironing "victimized numerous girls in the country" and in some cases "resulted in burns, deformities, and psychological problems."
There are more than 200 ethnic groups in Cameroon with different norms and customs. Breast ironing is practiced by all of them.
....
In 2006, a German nongovernmental organization exposed the practice, which at the time was done mainly in secret.
Now, charities have embarked on campaigns to educate mothers in Cameroon that sex education -- not breast ironing -- is the solution to ending teenage pregnancy.
Dr Sinou Tchana, a gynecologist in Cameroon, has seen breast glands that were destroyed. She also saw one case of cancer, though she says it couldn't be established whether the ironing caused or only exacerbated the cancer.

Even More Misspelled and Wrong-Word Tattoos

Okay, on to the permanent misspellings these geniuses had inked into their skin, because life does not come with a spellchecker.

Existence
This one takes the prize, because she caught the spelling error after the fact and then had the correction tattooed in, adding the "e" to forever, but underneath the original as there was no room for a proper correction. Looks like a tattoo rough draft with mark-up:
Finish
Give
Destiny
Ah, another favorite, screwing up the "hakuna" in Hakuna matata. No worries? I don't think so:
No apologies? More like no spellchecker
System
Seize the dictionary
Courage
Awesome
Breath
Tomorrow
Regrets
Double words
Beautiful
