A Georgia man was let off with a slap on the wrist after pleading guilty to tattooing his 3-year-old son.

A judge in Floyd County, Ga., ruled on Monday that Eugene Ashley must pay $300 and serve 12 months probation for giving his son a tattoo on his shoulder that said "DB" - short for "Daddy's Boy" - in 2009.

Ashley was arrested about a year later after an official from the Department of Child Services visited his house and spotted the tatted up tyke, the Rome News-Tribune newspaper reported.

It's illegal in Georgia to give a tattoo to someone younger than 18.

Prosecutors called the crime "egregious," but said that it would have been difficult to prosecute because it would rely solely on the toddler's testimony.

"I don't know if we would be able to elicit a testimony from a child," Patterson told the paper.

Ashley said he was drunk and didn't remember giving the toddler the tattoo, Georgia's WSBTV television reported.

The boy was taken into custody by child services and is now living with his uncle.

The uncle, George Hawkins, said that the boy remembered the tattoo and recalled that it hurt "a little bit," the station reported.

I'm all for tattoos. I have a few of my own but what really bothers me about this is that It's a little baby. A little precious innocent pure being and he goes and desecrates it. :facepalm:

Here is another case of some serious parenting fail, also in Georgia Coincidence? probably not. I wonder how many other parent's out there are tattooing their children? This last case is a little bit different as the children are older. I know in certain places tattoos are rights of passage and rituals.

    Edit: I'm just gonna leave this thread before I make myself look like more of a dumbass.

    You just made yourself look like more of a dumbass, 2009 wasn't "Last year"

    Wow, what an idiot. I'd never tattoo my own kid. If he wanted to get inked he'd have to go out and get it done himself, properly, by a professional tattoo artist :facepalm:

    LOL at baby's being pure and innocent. Small children are some of the most evil people on the planet. Who gives a shit if some baby got a tattoo. This s hardly a newsworthy story.

    This. I've met truly evil fucking kids. 5 year olds that will cry their souls out to manipulate their parents. 5 year olds that will lie and do anything to get rid of someone.

    you know why little kids are brats like that? it's because of the parents and their lack of actual parenting. so next time you see that awful kid at the store and you want to smack them, smack the parents instead they need it.

    Fuckers need a good beating.

    All this BS about domestic abuse, fuck it. Brats need to feel a belt buckle crush between their ass cheeks, it's the only way.
