The most outrageous part of the story is that they tattooed the kids at home with some sort of jerry-rigged tattoo machine using a sharpened guitar string as a needle.
Ouch.
Guess they had no option but to do it at home -- after all, it is illegal to tattoo children under the age of 18 in Georgia so they were probably having a heck of a time finding a licensed tattoo artist willing to ink that 10 year-old.
Needless to say, these folks are in some big trouble -- as they should be.
I don't mean to state to obvious but this whole mess could have been avoided by the use of temporary tattoos. Kids love those things and more importantly, they wash off. They make some really cool temporary tats too. A little late for that now, I guess.
