Jessie J issues health update following cancer surgery as she admits having 'hard days'
Jessie J has shared a candid update with fans a month after undergoing breast cancer surgery, as she was flooded with support on social media. Jessie J opened up in a candid admission that "some days are harder than others" as she issued a health update to fans. The news comes one month following her breast cancer operation. The Bang Bang hitmaker received an "early" breast cancer diagnosis and underwent vital surgery last month. The 37-year-old continued to keep her fans in the loop about her health journey on social media. Currently recovering, the mum-of-one turned to Instagram this week to reassure followers she's "feeling good" despite experiencing tougher moments, as reported by the Mirror. Alongside a montage featuring snaps of herself cradling her son Sky, she wrote: "It will be 4 weeks since my breast cancer surgery on Saturday. I am feeling good. Some days are harder than others. "My movement is good, still very sore, but I am getting more like myself every day. Mentally it's all catching up with me. So giving myself a little space to feel it all. It's a [rollercoaster] for sure." The singer revealed her little one and partner had travelled abroad to visit relatives whilst she concentrated on rest and recovery. The Poker Face singer said: "Sky has gone away for 2 weeks with his Dad to his Danish fam, but also so I can rest and do physio. (And re organise the whole house with my Mum and my sister as my body) lol. My adhd and ocd still going strong." She continued: "I'm not allowed to pick Sky up for a few months and that has been a difficult adjustment, I just want to hold him like this and spin around. But in the bigger picture it's a small sacrifice to have my health and to still be here. The day will come I can lift him up for a cuddle. I can't wait for that day. That day is what gets me through these days. These days are weird. I love being your mum Sky. I miss my boys." Fans soon flooded the comments with messages of encouragement, with one follower penning: "you are so strong! ! Sending you so much love," whilst Strictly star Amy Dowden added: "Sending so much love!" "Such immense strength and courage , none of know how strong we are until put to the test , the human spirit is incredible," another fan remarked. Jessie J had posted an adorable video of her son Sky three weeks before, who she shares with basketball star Chanan Colman, performing at the recording studio whilst she beamed with pride. She captioned the moment: "This is so special. This little boy is the brightest light in my whole world." The singer has been keeping followers informed during her challenging health battle, offering an update two weeks after her operation. She had previously revealed how she switched into 'survival mode' after receiving her diagnosis.

Will an AI machine change tattoo art forever?
Every tattoo starts with a single black dot. That tiny mark is the base for every design, no matter how complex. And now, thanks to a new AI tattoo machine, that dot is more perfect than ever. Welcome to the future of tattooing. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide - free when you join my Blackdot is not just a new tool. It's a complete reimagining of how tattoos are created. This device doesn't look like a traditional tattoo machine. It's a sleek, robotic arm powered by artificial intelligence. It uses computer vision, lasers and a microscope to apply ink with surgical precision. The dots it places are about the size of a human hair. Blackdot is currently in studios like Bang Bang in New York City. It's designed to create ultra-detailed tattoos quickly, cleanly and with less pain than traditional methods. And yes, it still uses real needles and real ink. But the way it works is totally different. Once a human operator starts the process, the machine scans your skin. It then gets to work, placing ink with incredible accuracy. It's quiet. It's steady. And according to early users, it hurts a lot less. That's because the machine goes shallower into the skin than a human artist might. This avoids nerve endings that normally cause pain during a tattoo. Let's say you want a custom tattoo from an artist across the country. Normally, you'd need to travel, book months in advance, and hope the artist is available. With Blackdot, you can get that same artwork in your city, without ever meeting the artist in person. The machine can handle everything from ultra-sharp lettering to lifelike portraits. It can even replicate a child's handwriting or a piece of original art down to the tiniest detail. And if you're nervous about pain or needles, this machine might make you more comfortable than a traditional tattoo shop. Blackdot isn't trying to replace tattoo artists. It's trying to give them more options. Artists can license their work to be used by the machine. They control how many times a design can be tattooed. They approve the final work. And they get paid quickly. This opens up tattooing to painters, illustrators, digital artists, photographers and more. You no longer have to be a tattoo artist to get your work on someone's skin. Of course, not everyone is excited about this change. Some tattoo artists feel like a machine doesn't belong in an industry built on human connection and trust. They say machines can't replace the experience that comes from years of working with different skin types and guiding clients through the emotional side of getting a tattoo. They also worry about losing jobs, or about AI removing the "soul" of a hand-drawn tattoo. At the same time, some artists are curious. A few have even tried tattooing side-by-side with the machine to see how it compares. One artist described it like watching a dinosaur stare at a meteor; he didn't think it would take over, but he knew it would change things. And in some cases, artists say the machine handles tedious jobs like fine lettering better than they can. Blackdot has big plans. It's not just focused on tattoo shops. The company wants to put machines in permanent makeup studios, high-end salons, barbershops and fashion stores. It also launched something called the Blackdot Gallery, where people can buy digital tattoo art that can be turned into real tattoos. You can even trade and collect tattoos the way you might trade digital art or collectibles. The AI tattoo machine isn't here to erase tradition. It's here to expand it. It offers new ways to create, new ways to connect, and a more comfortable experience for people who have always wanted a tattoo but held back. But it also raises big questions about what we value in a tattoo. Is it the art itself, or the artist behind it? So what about you? Would you let a robot give you your next tattoo, or do you still want a human touch behind every drop of ink?
