yep, If this ain't redneck, don't know what is... the title is true, now this happened a few years back, but this is the first I heard of it and the story is crazy. Some woman actually got a tattoo from a man that came to her door selling tattoos... and, she got really sick from the nutty and stupid ordeal.
Actually, This was the incredibly bad tattoo this woman got from the door to door tattoo salesman.
I gotta ask, is this shit for real? I mean, the dude came to the door with a handmade tattoo gun wrapped in electrical tape... and this chick says sure and pays him? Redneck is redneck, but this is far beyond that.
"But Maw, the man done told me he was real good!"
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.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.
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.The
health department said it's always worth the extra money to get a
tattoo from a licensed professional with the right equipment and
sterilization procedures."Getting a tattoo is like a wound.
There's a risk of disease that may be long term or life threatening.
It's a serious decision," said Jaci McReynalds, with the Greene County
Health Department.
It is illegal in Missouri to give a tattoo without a license, so if
several people file complaints with the state, the county prosecutor
will pursue the case.
"Beware of deals in parachutes, brain surgery and tattoos," said Miller Cotton, a tattoo parlor owner."We just wanted tattoos, and now we're paying for it," Eason said.
