'Last rites' tattoo fatal
A MAN getting the words "Last Rites" as a tattoo died when he passed out and crashed through a glass counter. Joaquin Laguer, 27, nearly decapitated himself at the Buzz Tattoo parlour in East Williamsburg. "There was nothing I could do," said tattoo artist Julio Ramos. "I was kneeling next to him, praying to God. My assistant said, 'He's gone'."

After complaining of feeling faint, Laguer had walked across the room to the counter. He fainted and fell headfirst into the glass. His girlfriend, Shanequa Neal, said she was shocked by the irony of "Last Rites" as his tattoo: "It was like it was his time," she said.
