Being arrested was extreme, especially since her reasoning for allowing it came from a good place and she wasn’t just being a negligent parent. If its a law and they want to enforce the law, then the parent should not be held accountable it should be the tattoo artist. The tattoo artists should know better to refuse this work to minors under any circumstance. If I send my child to the store for a pack of cigs then the store clerk would be at fault if he/she served the minor, not the parent who consented to have the child buy the pack.

she need her ass beat a 10yr old wtf

That ws a real stupid move..10 yo come on lady wtf ws u thinkin.

I heard this on the radio, she needs to be beat!!! Didn’t know it was illegal, really no one is that stupid!!!

but the 2010 law states: It shall be unlawful for any person to tattoo the body of any person under the age of 18….so shouldnt the tattoo artist be the one who got arrested…ijs..

Lock her ignorant azz up!

I would not let my son’s get it but she is the mother .I don’t know if there can be complications from something like this in a sterile place.People pierce they kids ear’s too.

Crazy bitch.. #smh

Although I was 30 before I got my first tattoo, I do understand her reasoning for allowing the little boy to get the tattoo. I have lived in a house of mourning before, and know that when grieving we sometimes make bad decisions.

What if it wasn’t a sterile place? What are kids going to hv to look forward to when the turn 18-21 if they have options to get it done at 10yrs old. He could have waited to get a RIP tattoo #jmo

There is a law that she broke so she got to pay for giving in to her kid! My feelings has always been when your grown & out of my house!

I understand wanting to please your kids and feeling compelled to do so under the circumstance he wants to remember his bro butttt you are the parent (adult) you should of sat him down acknowledge what a wonderful thought he had but son we must decide on another way a tattoo is totally out of the ? For many reasons….and offer him suggestions on showing love for her son and his older bro…..I think she truly meant no harm just showed poor judgement no thought process

Who tats a 10 yr old????? So if he ask to get high i guess the mother will let him get high too. We dont have 2do everything these kids ask for…..geez! What the hell is wrong with these parents nowadays!

Someone tattoo “EPIC FAIL” across her forehead. That is all.

Dan her what about the Tattoo artist.

Honestly….Americans underestimate children,and shelter them WAY too much. Due to being in the military i know There are MANY things i have seen children do in other countries that we wouldn’t even allow our children to think about. Children in Thailand are allowed to get sex changes n become Lady Boys…a tattoo ain’t NOTHIN. Hell…ppl change the sex of their kids in the womb now,as well as alter other things such as hair color,eye color. How do we know they wanted those things changed??? Just because they’re children doesn’t mean their thoughts,opinions,and decisions should be over looked. Nothing is natural these days. Im not saying i would allow my son to get it…i’d say wait til you’re a little older,but im not about to down ol girl cuz she was being a free spirit and wanted to comfort and support her son the best way she thought fit. It might hurt so bad he may not get anymore and become a statistic like most of the black males COVERED in tats. Maybe he might not like it as he gets older…im trying to be open minded. She could be the BEST mother in the world and everybody just faultin her cuz of one bad decision. Another note…if they can death row kids…they should be able to tat them if they’re willing.

if it was for any other reason then she’s wrong. but, in memory of his dead brother who was killed and was still so very close to his age. ..thats their business. who is it harming?
she doesnt need to be in jail tho.

and posting pics of ignorant ninjas with actual cartoon characters and nonsense on their bodies isn’t one in the same.

Ebocka hit it right on the nose

She knew that it was against the law, big dummy!

@ Salmon.

Uh darling, holes in the ears close up on a baby once you stop putting the earings in. I had my ears pierced at 7 and stopped wearing studs at around 9 and the holes closed up and I’ve never looked back. Injecting permanent ink into the layer of skin below the epidermis is a serious procedure and the process of removing the tatto is far more painful. Comparing baby ear piercings to tattoos is just ignorant.

If she wants to tat herself in rememberance of her dead son that is one thing but to permanently ink her 10 year old who is probably just mimicking her and the other hoodrats around him, is inappropriate. Did she ensure that tattoo artist was legitimate and licensed?

Hepatitus can be transmitted via tattooing and she put her son’s health at risk. Frankly, they all should just surround themselves with photographs, videos and other sentimental items that don’t involve marking themselves like some damn gang members.

C’mon black people we can do better! Give our sons a chance!!

im with the mom, i thought it was ok unless a parent gave consent. had no idea about a bogus law. sad!!! now if that kid had bruises all over his body, the teachers would ignore that.

The "mother" was out of pocket and BELONGS in jail. Parental are supposed to be smarter then their children. What mother thinks its ok to tat the young skim of a GROWING boy? And that tattoo design looks cheap and busted. He’s still growing. That tat is going to look like a stab would by the time he’s 20.

Bad parenting at its finest. Oh… And the fact she gave ok Is irrelevant. There are parents who allow their children to smoke, drink and swear. They too ate out of line. That’s why we have laws like this on the books, to rotect children. And I couldn’t be surprised if that tat was a hood hookup. No real tattoo artist would dare put their licence at risk over some hoodrat and her son. Next time get an airbrushed t-shirt.

One word: WRONG

Most people don’t even know that you are not suppose to desecrate the body ie…get tattoos.Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. Our people will perish for the lack of knowledge. I weep for my people.

Blacks… lol.
