Couple arrested for tattooing children

[bassman]

Welcome to my corner of the country...

This couple was arrested for giving tattoos to six or their seven children. Ranging from 10 to 17, the kids were given tattoo's of a cross and one got "mom and dad" on his arm. :|

This cracks me up...
"I don't understand why this got blowed up so big. I love my children. We'd never do anything to harm our kids," said Marsh.

Depends if the kids were just given shitty prison-type tattoos or have something a bit more professional. I got a tattoo magazine with an article about some artist who gave his eight-year-old son a full-on sleeve. It was quite nice and the badass look on his face suggested that he was the king of his school. Thing is, his body still has some growing to do, so it makes you wonder what that tattoo will look like in ten years' time.

Oh yeah....I forgot to mention how they did it. They took the macguyver method. Guitar String, hollowed writing pen, and an electric motor.:lol:

the article doesn't say but i wonder if the real problem here is that they used homemade machine to do the tattoos? i don't know how it is down in GA but i'm pretty sure in most places you need some sort of license to do tattooing.

10 year olds don't need tattoos. period.

the tattoo shop in oxford (where is used to live) had a big sign in the front window which said that no one under the age of 15 even need ask about getting a tattoo.

Seventeen-year-olds getting tattoos, I can live with, but ten-year-olds? That's bad, man. And not even in the cool "I love the Power Glove, it's so baaad" sense. :p

The tattooed boy, aged fifteen, 1890.

Apparently other kids hated him because they couldn't get tattoos of their own.

Just think, he was able to make a cushy living as a side show case, while those haters had to work 16 hour days and risk getting their limbs torn off working in some late industrial age nightmare.

Imagine what that kid must have looked like when he was older and his body had changed....
