Hey sarge!!

A tattoo parlour is being investigated for inking an underage teenager with 'awful' upside down and wonky sergeant stripes - called the 'worst tattoo ever done' by his mother.



Lewis Elliott, who is just 17, came home after getting three upside down sergeant stripes tattooed on his right arm at a tattoo studio in Dymchurch, Kent.

His mother Michelle exploded in anger and demanded her son take her to the LoveTattoo studio run by Dagmar Oates - who also reads tarot cards and does botox and dermal fillers - but found the studio closed.

The Tattooing of Minors Act 1969 makes it a criminal offence for a tattooist to ink anyone under the age of 18.

Michelle and husband Jason were so 'outraged' at the tattoo they called the police and local council.

Michelle said: 'This person thinks they can tattoo. She is willing too tattoo under age kids and needs too be stopped and shamed.'

She called her a 'monster' and said her tattoos were marking youngsters for life with awful inkings.

She then posted a photo of her son's 'awful' tattoo on Facebook, adding: 'This is what a so called tattooist did to my underage son! DO NOT Get a tattoo done at LoveTattoo in Dymchurch.'

upside down

Actually, I believe the lad is a sergeant in the US Army...



But still a pretty crappy job...

Okay, what happened to the obligatory, "You Americans do everything backwards" witticism I was waiting for?

You took care of it, LJ. You took care of it.

And anyone who gets a tattoo is by definition a silly twat

My wife has three..
Her best friend (ER nurse) is covered, neck to ankles.
My brother (US Marine NCO, 4 combat tours, Bronze Star with V for Valor) has two.

So just one out of three? That's not a bad average.
