A tattoo artist has pleaded guilty to inking a minor. The artist never
received parental permission for the body-art tattooed onto the 16-year-old.
The court accused the tattoo artist of not asking the customer for proper
identification nor did he seek out asking her parents when he found out she
was only 16.

Courier Times said, "Schultz apologized to the girl's mother in court and
agreed to pay for laser removal services. It will cost approximately $1,200
to erase the tattoos, said prosecutor Daniel O'Riordan."

Lucky for the girl and the angry mother, tattoo removal options are readily
available and quite effective in erasing the body-ink. Not so lucky however
for the tattoo artist who know faces months of probation, fines and a
possible revoked tattoo license.
