My 7 year old has a tattoo.

[colditz]

Oh how I wish this was a bid to get your attention.

from what I can gather, his dad was having a tattoo done at his own flat, and Ds1 said "What does that feel like?" and before anyone knew what was going to happen, he -who is about to die--

the tattooist jabbed Ds1's hand with the tattoo gun that was being used on ds1's dad.

So.

It's the tiniest dot, nobody told me about it, and it was 5 months ago.

I now have to take my 7 year old for a fucking hiv and hep b test.

I have a police investigation going on (but all I know is that the bloke's name is 'tattoo tony', he has relatives on the isle of wight and stars tattooes on his head/face)

And I have barred the kids from visiting their dad. Overnights will now take place here, at my huge inconvenience. And my friends and family will be dropping in to my house on these occasions, unannounced.

I was swollen with rage the day I found out. My boyfriend is taking the day off work next week and travelling 40 iles to my house to take ds1 in for his bloods, so I don't upset him with my hysteria.

I don't know what to think and I don't know what to do. My child has been assaulted and I was not informed.

Would be raging. Irresponsible twat

Jesus, I'm furious on your behalf. If someone did that to my ds, they had better not be within 5 miles of me. What a s**t person and as for your ex !

Did the police manage to catch up with him on Monday?

What an utter twat of a bloke to do that. I am fuming for you!! One word...braindead. I hope you find him, or someone bloody finds him and he gets what's coming.

Colditz, this is awful.

When will you get the test results?

I would blardy tattoo white lillies on that mans testicles. Or a Poison sign.

just seen this and read it in the absolute horrors !

genuinely totally shocked

i hope they find him and your ex needs to man up.

I thought you were making it up to get us to look at your thread.

I'm horrified.

Surely it's not legal to tattoo a minor. From what you've said it was without either your consent or his father's.

I think you should save your rage for Twatty tattoo-y Tony and contact the police. Sounds as if your ex-dp couldn't have stopped it happening in any other way than to have not allowed such an arse into his home, but I think he could be forgiven for not knowing he'd do something so stupid (though to not tell you himself... ...).

The Police, surely.
You can't let this lie.

I went to the police 3 hours after I found out, marne - I'm not letting it lie, believe me.

I have now found out this bloke's phone number, and the vague area where he lives, by the way.

ha! good luck

What happened Monday night? Did he or the police not turn up?

good hope he gets what he deserves!

Colditz - goodness woman, have you not been through enough already :(

Look SS will want to monitor his access to your DS for a while - and that makes sense in the circumstances. He has knowingly put your child in harms way - whether or not he knew he was going to be tattooed by this ahem gentleman - he allowed the situation to arise. I would not allow my children to be around needles etc when I was not in control of the situation (and clearly he wasn't).

Regarding the tattoo - if it's a dot they are fairly easy to laser off - and not too painful either. Talk to your GP. Incidentally have you taken photographs of it. You should. The police will need them and it'll be less disruptive to your son to have you take them.

What a bloody stupid thing to allow to happen. Your ex must be a total dick.

What happened with the police on MOnday?

Have you given the info you know to the police?

Colditz-not read the whole thread but my brother lives in Oakham. I'll ask him to discreetly ask around for any info on this person. The man is a disgrace-what an unbelievably stupid thing to do to a child

I am so angry on your behalf colditz. I understand what you are saying about your ex dh not actually being responsible, but he knows it was wrong, he knows he witnessed something tantamount to assault on a minor. Surely the police need to talk to your ex, on the grounds of witnessing a criminal act against a minor AND NOT REPORTING IT!. Your ex might not have been able to stop it happening, he wouldn't have expected Twattooist Tony to do something so stupid, but at the moment it happened, he should have been being a responsible parent. If ss are getting involved you have nothing to worry about, your ex on the other hand in my opinion should be looked at closely to see if he is responsibe enough to have care of his dc....I suspect not.

Hope you are ok, fingers crossed for the test results. I send a smack on the head for your ex though.

Been watching this thread... just an extra note - but minor aren't even allowed in to tattoo parlours... and that includes babies in buggies so your ex was defintiely in the wrong too - there is clearly a reason why its not allowed!

Good luck getting some justice for this colditz

coldtiz that is totally outrageous, I would be beyond livid.

I'm sure you havent and don't want to sound at all preachy but I wouldbe really careful about making this out to be a big thing in front of your DS, especially as (quite rightly) it leads to you changing how he sees his dad. Otherwise he will have a permenant reminder of something that caused a rift between his parents.

Hope you find the bastard.

Just to say Colditz, I hope he gets what's his.

what the fuck!
(and i never swear in writing.)
this is totally off the scale mental...

where are you?theres a 'tattoo tony' who lives up the road(andover north hants?!)

i hope you find the fucker.

Jesus christ.

Shocking.
