Before the week is out... Try this

ARE YOU man enough to have a tattoo? Opt for the Temptoo and you no longer have to worry about it. This is a new type of body art which looks just as good as the real thing but, as it only pigments the second layer of skin, it won't hurt - and it fades away within three to five years. The technique has been adapted from the method used by beauticians to give women permanent make-up and is carried out by registered practitioners. So go on, be a devil, and just claim having it done hurt like hell.

Temptoos, from pounds 40 (tel: 0191 487 5600).
