NBC 5 brings us the story George Jerutis, a Shorewood tattoo artist who's now in hot water for tattooing a child. How did authorities find out? Because Jerutis posted a photo of it - a Batman logo - on his website. Jerutis and his wife Sandra were jailed for tattooing minors; Sandra has since been released on bond while Jerutis remains jailed.

A report in the Herald News says that Jerutis has gotten in trouble for tattooing minors before, in 2001 when he tattooed a 13-year-old and two 15-year-olds. Police are now asking parents to make sure their kids haven't also been tattooed illegally by Jerutis.
