Is this what our NHS money should be spent on at a time when it is under pressure and having to cut back on expensive drugs that could save lives?

As for NHS spending there are a few treatments that I don't agree with, one being fertility that should not be funded by the tax payer.

Whilst you are correct in stating that some cancer drugs may extend life by a month or two, it might be more correct to say that in the majority of cases these drugs can extend the quality and period of life by 6 months or more.
Important for anyone with cancer and in particular those people who are young.
Certainly agree that the NHS should not be spending money on many things that should be up to the individual to pay for, nor should the NHS be offering free treatment to benefit tourists.
However the NHS is not a national service otherwise it would offer the same service to everyone but what treatment you can get or not get depends on where you live and in my opinion entirely wrong.

Absolutely NOT! It's a lifestyle choice to have chemical dyes injected into one's skin, eyes etc
I would never get involved in what some refer to as self mutilation although that seems to me to be a National Newspaper headline way of describing it.
Edit: Typo corrected.

Go for it, be interesting to see how the moderators would deal with a moderator.

Then they'll claim hardship, discrimination and that their quality of life is being affected. Their human rites are being infringed

But I digress - I agree that the NHS should not provide such funding

Had the tats without their horrified parents consent.
Or someone was forcibly tattooed.
Other than that if you're old enough to have and want it done.............................

Gastric bands cost around £6000 and fertility treatment costs £5000 per cycle.
I accept there are always exceptions to the rule but these sort of procedures should not be accepted as the norm.

Having tattoos is a choice that people are free to make (not a choice I'd make) but people know they're permanent when they get them and if they want them removed they should pay (perhaps the NHS should offer such services at a price so that profits can be used elsewhere).
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
Opinions expressed in forum posts are those of the poster, others may have different views.

That price should factor in the diversion of resources from other areas of the NHS.
