At first I was prepared to be outraged and think that mom should be locked up for child abuse....then I found out it was in honor of his brother that died. In my mind eye I had this image of these horrible people thinking it was funny to take their kid for ink, but in a way its really kind of sweet and it isnt like he will regret having his brother's name on him. I do think the shop is liable for doing it in the first place.

It was illegal and I agree, shop should be held liable.  While I think it was sweet of him to want to do this to honor his brother, I think the mom should have been a PARENT and explained that this was not something he could do until he was 18 and helped him find others ways to honor his brother that are age appropriate.

I am pretty liberable when it comes to things like this and I am really appalled by this.  My son is 10 and I would laugh in his face if this was even a question now. I have a few and once we get to that point I would have no problem saying yes, but not at this age!

The shop and artist should definately be held liable and lose their license.
