Obscenity Is Forcibly Tattooed on Teen’s Face
A man and a teenager have been charged with forcibly tattooing an obscenity on the forehead of a 17-year-old boy, police said in Norwich.
Officer Craig Berry declined to describe the tattoo, except to say it was a phrase. Kenneth D. Peer, 23, and a 17-year-old boy were charged with assault and unlawful imprisonment. The two were in jail in lieu of $25,000 bail.
The victim told police the suspects held him down while they used a homemade tattooing instrument. Berry said it was likely the victim would require plastic surgery or a laser process to remove the tattoo.
