Artist Fined For BRING ME THE HORIZON Tattoo On Minor

February 24, 2012

According to This Is Kent, a tattoo artist was found guilty and fined £500 for tattooing the album title by metalcore band BRING ME THE HORIZON on an underage British schoolgirl.

Donovan Carfoot, who has been tattooing for 40 years, tattooed a four-line quote on the 15-year-old girl's back at his tattoo parlor, but said he thought she was older.

By law, a person must be at least 18 to be tattooed.

The girl, now 16, told the court: "It was a quote that just appealed to me. It was something I saw on TV."
