Although the tattoo may not be legally binding, it is clearly evident where Mary Wohlford stands:

Mary Wohlford has informed family members of her wishes should she become incapacitated. She has also signed a living will that hangs on her refrigerator.

But the retired nurse and great-grandmother believes she has removed all potential for confusion: She had the words “DO NOT RESUSCITATE” tattooed on her chest.

Does anyone else have examples of legalities tattooed on a persons body claiming their rights?

    if she tattooed it herself, it could be considered to be a holographic will.

    though having it tattooed at all, either personally or by a family member, might put into question the mental stability of the tattooee.
