Britain's first tattoo artist opened his salon in 1894 and offered body art to customers at his salon on top of a Turkish bathhouse in London

Tattooing customers in a small salon above a Turkish bathhouse in London, Britain's first ever professional tattoo artist launched his trade in the capital in 1894.

Sutherland MacDonald, widely regarded as one of the greatest artists of his day, opened a shop in the St James's' area of Westminster and spent his entire career offering body art from the location.

Since then, tattooing has become integrated in modern culture drawing a vast audience from all walks of life – including high-profile celebrities such as David Beckham and Angelina Jolie.

Now, a new exhibition is set to launch to offer a fascinating insight into its long and rich history.

Tattoo London, which will run at the Museum of London, will rediscover the history of professional tattooing in the capital, as well as revealing life inside

New support group to open at the Longhouse

A NEW support group called ‘After Caring’ will open in North Devon Hospice’s outreach centre the Longhouse in Holsworthy.

After Caring is a free service, supported by Lloyds Bank Foundation, and aims to provide support for carers who are facing the end of their caring role.

The support group sessions will be held at the Longhouse on the third Monday of each month, giving carers and former carers the opportunity to talk to someone who understands and to get support from others going through the same thing.

Everyone is different and will handle a situation like this differently; it can be hard at times to predict what people are ready for. The support workers will help to prioritise and give information based on what a person is interested in.

Those attending might want to know more about activities in the local area or may have financial queries — the group will be able to help provide support and get people the help they need.-read more

UK schoolboy corrects Nasa data error

A British teenager has contacted scientists at Nasa to point out an error in a set of their own data.

A-level student Miles Soloman found that radiation sensors on the International Space Station (ISS) were recording false data.

The 17-year-old from Tapton school in Sheffield said it was "pretty cool" to email the space agency.

The correction was said to be "appreciated" by Nasa, which invited him to help analyse the problem.

"What we got given was a lot of spreadsheets, which is a lot more interesting than it sounds," Miles told BBC Radio 4's World at One programme.

The research was part of the TimPix project from the Institute for Research in Schools (IRIS), which gives students across the UK the chance to work on data from the space station, looking for anomalies and patterns that might lead to further discoveries.

During UK astronaut Tim Peake's stay on the station, detectors began recording the radiation levels on the ISS.-read more and see video
