"Ohio mother charged after allegedly allowing 10-year-old to be tattooed by teen"

"BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio - A mother is facing charges after she allegedly allowed a teen to give her 10-year-old son a tattoo inside a home in Bellefontaine, located in Logan County.

Nikki J. Dickinson, 34, was charged with misdemeanor child endangering and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to ABC affiliate WSYX in Columbus.

In a video that went viral on Facebook and sparked outrage online, a 10-year-old boy is seen getting a tattoo by another teen inside a home.

Officers told WSYX that the mom said she got "tired" of her son asking, so she allowed him to get a tattoo.

Dickinson endangered her son by allowing him to get a tattoo in unsafe, unsanitary conditions, according to court documents.

The 16-year-old teen in the video gives tattoos at home, according to a witness. Investigators said it's believed the teen gave a tattoo to another individual that turned into a MRSA infection, WSYX reports.

The 16-year-old teen was charged with two delinquency counts of tattooing prohibitions, according to WSYX."

That's horrible. I can only hope that both of those children are removed from her care.

and then they'll blame the tattooing community, too . . .
