Couple Arrested For Tattooing Children
CHATTOOGA COUNTY, Ga. - A Georgia couple is out of jail on bond after being arrested for tattooing six of their children.
Investigators say they put their children in danger, but they say they did nothing wrong.
Investigators said a plastic pen body with a needle made of a guitar string connected to an electric motor was used to tattoo the six children.
"It's a painful procedure with a crude instrument," said Chattooga County Sheriff John Everett.
Sheriff Everett said five children got a cross like tattoo on their hands, the oldest boy, a tattoo of "mom and dad' on his arm.
Sheriff Everett continued "7-years-old to 17. The 7-year-old's the one that didn't' receive a tattoo. They determined he was too young."
"I'm not breaking their skin, it's right there, it's going to fade away. It's like a pen mark," said the children’s mother PattyJo Marsh.
Sheriff Everett said investigators came after receiving a complaint from the biological mother of two of the children complaining about the tattoos.
Patty Marsh and her husband are charged with three counts each of illegal tattooing, second degree child cruelty and reckless conduct.
The Sheriff said he's concerned if the same guitar string needle was used each time.
"The guitar string that you use in the homemade gun we changed it out every time," said Marsh.
"We didn't do anything wrong. I still don't think we did anything wrong," she continued.
