A mother has been arrested for allowing her 10-year-old son to get a tattoo by a teenage artist according to Columbus Ohio TV station.
34-Year-old Nikki Dickinson was charged with first-degree misdemeanor child endangerment and contributing to the delinquency of a minor after video of the tattoo session went viral.
Court documents obtained by the news station read that the 16-year-old tattoo artist identified by the Bellefontaine Examiner as Kyle Richardson of Lakeview often give tattoos at his home.
While Dickson does face charges, it is not necessarily illegal to tattoo a minor in Ohio. According to state law, "No person shall perform a tattooing procedure, body piercing procedure, or ear piercing procedure with an ear piercing gun on an individual who is under eighteen years of age unless consent has been given by the individual's parent, guardian, or custodian in accordance with division B of this section."
