Door-to-door tattoo sales? Bad idea.
This story is old news, but its such an amusing tale that it is worth revisiting.
January 25, 2006. Kansas City, Missouri.
Linda Falls just wanted to save some money on her tattoo, but she ended up with a trip to the hospital. Falls and a number of other women in a Springfield, Missouri apartment complex purchased tattoos from a man who appeared at their door with a tattoo gun, offering his artistic services.
Tamra Eason described his tattoo gun as “homemade,” but paid him for a tattoo anyway. “It was wrapped with black tape, had a pin underneath it, had fishing wire going through it, you could tell it was a homemade gun,” Eason said.

Linda Falls passed out the day after receiving her tattoo. She was later hospitalized. An effort was made to advise the women who received the tattoos that they should get tested for hepatitis and HIV.
They say some people exist solely for the purpose of being a lesson to the rest of us. I think these woman may be here for just that reason. Thanks, ladies.
