Springfield Man Charged With Tattooing Teens
A 39-year-old Springfield man was charged yesterday with three counts of tattooing minors without a parent's consent.
On May 13, a Springfield mother complained to police that [Rudolpho] Carlos had tattooed the arms of her two 14-year-old children and her 16-year-old child in the basement of his home. It was the third similar accusation against Carlos, but the first time he has been formally charged.
You have to be 18 to get a tattoo in Illinois, and tattooing a minor is a class A misdemeanor. [AP]

This two-bit skin-Picasso deserves a butt-kicking.
This loser cracks me up. Fourteen year old girls? "Gee, I didn't know," doesn't cut it!
