DJ 'turns the other cheek'.
A quick-talking DJ's dwindling confidence in the Springbok rugby team cost him on Tuesday when he had to bend over and take his punishment.
Kieno Kammies bet a number of listeners last week that the Boks were going to lose, and promised that if they won, he would have the Bok emblem tattooed on his butt.

To tattoo or not to?
We got some advice from the pros — Dave from Bodyart Tattoo and Piercing Studio and Alex from Anima Mundi — about the best approach to getting inked.
Alex suggests that the first step is to ask around and establish which studios have good reputations. Then visit as many studios as you can find. The studio needs to be really clean and hygienic. Think of this as minor surgery — if you can’t picture your doctor stitching you up in the studio it is not clean enough.
Dave suggests that you don’t stop at the studio, take a look at the artist too. Does he or she look like they care about hygiene? Do they have any certificates to prove their qualifications? Is the studio approved by the health department? Don’t be shy to ask questions, if the studio is not willing to answer them, it is time to move on.
Alex feels that your tattoo should represent something of who you are. He advises against following fashion fads, getting someone’s name or a tribal tattoo that is meaningless to you.
While all tattoos are painful, some hurt more than others. The general rule seems to be that the more fat there is between the bone and the skin, the less it is going to hurt. The most painful areas for men tend to be the abdomen, spine and chest and for women, the ankle, spine and ribcage. Dave’s guideline is to avoid the areas “where the sun don’t shine”.
