In November 2011, news outlets (such as the UK's Sun) picked up a news story about a furious woman suing her ex-boyfriend after he tattooed a steaming poo on her back: However, as other news outlets (such as the Daily Mail) found after investigating the story, it didn't pan out: the proffered photograph was a much older one that had originally appeared in a different context and had since been reused to illustrate a fabricated backstory, as the Smoking Gun noted of the claim: Exactly who is pictured in the original photograph, and what the tattoo shown was intended to depict, remain unknown. Some viewers have suggested that the tattoo might be a representation of moths being drawn to a candle flame that is sitting atop a pile of stones rather than of flies buzzing around a pile of feces.
