It is actually the fault of the irresponsible parents allowing the child to be tatted by an unlicenced/unhygienic beach trader.

"I had my doubts about it but he was really insistent. I asked holidaymakers and the reps at the complex, and they said it was fine, there was no problem,' said Mrs Wallace, 36. 'He had one and it was fine."

As regards UK taxpayer funded healthcare in instances like this I'd like to see the NHS insisting the costs were covered by travel insurance - as it would be if the dodgy tat had been done on the first day of the holiday rather than the last. If you are overseas unless medical care is covered by insurance make sure you have a fat wallet
