My 7 year old has a tattoo.

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.

This is technically physical abuse/assault on a minor. Go to the police, press charges.

trixymalixy · 07/03/2015 19:55

Shock, i would have gone totally nuclear about this!!!

hope he was charged, and your DS's blood tests were clear.

Any news Op?

MrsPiddlewink · 08/03/2015 07:40

Is Colditz sti?l on MN?

FacebookDramaYo · 08/03/2015 10:31

I've seen her I swear

FacebookDramaYo · 09/03/2015 19:57

So I've spoken to Colditz/Op

This is what she has said

*"He wasn't prosecuted, wasn't even arrested. The dos decided my son was an unreliable witness, without ever meeting him, and no warrent was ever put out for his arrest.

My sons results all came back clear, thankfully, and although he's now nearly twelve, he does of course still have that stupid dot tattoo, it's barely faded. Looking at it still makes me angry.

Thank you for asking about him!

Colditz"*

PegLegAntoine · 09/03/2015 20:03

Fucking hell that's horrific that nothing was done!

Thank goodness he doesn't have any health problems from it. But FFS, unreliable witness? The evidence was right there on his skin. :(

FacebookDramaYo · 09/03/2015 20:06

I agree! It's horrid that nobody did anything about this. I would no doubt be feeling the same if someone tattoo'd my sons skin

MrsPiddlewink · 09/03/2015 21:45

Thank you for the update on this Facebook. Am really shocked it was dropped!
