Jade Goody's risky tattoo
Thursday, 27 November 2008
Jade Goody has got a new tattoo - despite the high risk of infection due to her cancer treatment.
The reality TV star - who shot to fame after her appearance on 'Big Brother' in 2002 - had 'Jack' inked on her wrist as a tribute to her jailed boyfriend Jack Tweed.

But medical experts say the body art could be dangerous for the star due to chemotherapy making her immune system weak.
GP Julian Spinks said: "Most oncologists certainly wouldn't advise it while a patient is having chemotherapy.
"There are two problems - one is that chemotherapy lowers the immune system and an infection can be more serious because of that.
"The other is that healing will take a lot longer."
Tweed, 21, is currently serving an 18-month prison sentence after beating a 16-year-old with a golf club.
Goody was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August 2008. The news was broken to her during her appearance on the Indian version of 'Big Brother'.
