Women With Tattoo From Homemade Gun Got Sick
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Some women in Springfield are regretting their decision last week to get a tattoo from a door-to-door tattoo salesman. At least one person had to be hospitalized and the others face serious health risks.
(first of all, if a guy is knocking on your door offering a tattoo, you have to wonder "what's wrong with this picture?")
Friday night, a man knocked on doors holding a tattoo gun and offering his services. Tamra Eason described the tool as homemade, but still agreed to pay for a tattoo. So did two other women in her apartment complex.
"It was wrapped with black tape, had a pin underneath it, had fishing wire going through it, you could tell it was a homemade gun," Eason said.
(i guess after talking to this so-called "salesman,"she believed what he was offering was legit. but then she sees his tattoo machine. by now, you definitely have to be wondering "what's wrong with this picture?" i guess not!)
The next day, Linda Falls passed out and had to be hospitalized.
"I passed out in the store and they said I should have it checked out," Falls said.
All the women have an infection in the tattoo area and have been told to get tested for HIV and hepatitis.
(by this time, i'm guessing the woman is finally realizing "i f'ed up!")
just a heads up, if you decide to get a tattoo, you might want to make sure it's from a licensed artist so you don't go through what these women did. these women weren't the first to go through something like this, and i'm taking a wild guess that they won't be the last.
by the way, what the hell is that tattoo suppose to be?
