According to the information provided by police officers, the mother was tired of her son constantly asking for a tattoo. Eventually, she gave up and agreed.
Nikki J. Dickinson allowed her 10-years-old son to get a tattoo in unsafe, unsanitary conditions. He was tattooed by a 16-years-old teen, who often does tattoos at home. Reportedly, his another client got an MRSA infection.
The teen was also charged with two delinquency counts of tattooing prohibitions. He gave people tattoos in conditions which don’t meet safety and sanitation standards, as well as sterilization and disinfection standards.
With Parenting comes responsibility…. THINK!!! If my 10 year old asked me for a tattoo and would laugh and say NO!! Not until you are old enough to understand what permanent really means!!

Goes like this.
"Mom, can I get a tattoo?"
"No. Not until you’re 18"
"Mom, can I get a tattoo?"
"I said No. What part did you not understand?"
"Mom, can I get a tattoo?"
"What did I tell you the last time you asked? NO. Ask me one more time and Imma beat your ass"— Donald McKenna (@DonaldMcKenna8) October 2, 2018

This story went viral after the video of a kid getting a tattoo appeared online last week.
Specialists from the American Academy of Dermatology warn that piercing and tattooing really aren’t safe. You can end up with a bad infection or a scar. That is why doctors claim piercings and tattoos aren’t a good idea for kids.
