What Not To Do If You're Going To Tattoo A Kid

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.

I hope Joliet police threw the kid's parents in jail, as well.
He's going to regret that later in life...
Should have asked for it on his chest.
Did you see the caption under the picture on the site?
"good deeds done free"
Ah, Joliet. Making the people in Markham feel better about themselves for decades now.
So many questions ...
How will the tattoo distort as he grows? What if he grows up and realizes he's a Marvel fan? What if somebody makes a really lame Batman movie when he's in his 20s? What kind of dates will he be able to get when he's 16?
Someone should tattoo "asshole" on this guy's forehead. And on the foreheads of the parents too if they OK'd this.
Why do I have the feeling this kid has or will have one of those rat-tail hairdos and a pierced ear, also courtesy of his parents?
"Hey son, we think this trailer look is cool so we're going to foist it on you, OK?"
Ha!
If you think that's bad, read this article about a girl in Belgium who "fell asleep" while getting 3 stars tattooed on her face, and ended up with 56 of them!

It has since turned out that she knew what was going on.
she was stupid to use the "falling asleep" excuse. i mean, really?
IF this is true (I have some speculation that later this will come out to be a 'fake' tattoo), who are these kids parents? This is completely disturbing.
