SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Some women in Springfield are regretting their decision last week to get a tattoo from a door-to-door tattoo salesman. At least one person had to be hospitalized and the others face serious health risks.

Friday night, a man knocked on doors holding a tattoo gun and offering his services. Tamra Eason described the tool as homemade, but still agreed to pay for a tattoo. So did two other women in her apartment complex.

"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.

The next day, Linda Falls passed out and had to be hospitalized.


"I passed out in the store and they said I should have it checked out," Falls said.

All the women have an infection in the tattoo area and have been told to get tested for HIV and hepatitis.

The health department said it's always worth the extra money to get a tattoo from a licensed professional with the right equipment and sterilization procedures.

7. Yeah, but that dude's got some serious talent making a big shiny 9 on

her wrist like that.

I wonder if it means she prefers the 9mm

6. This is the sort of thing

This is the sort of thing that gives us door-to-door brain surgeons a bad name.

8. Springfield, it figures

It seems that town is just a magnet for the dumb and gullible in our state, our wonderful Springfield DUers non-withstanding. Of course this is the town that houses the world headquarters for Assembly of God Church, along with Jerry Falwell's alma mater, Baptist Bible College, and another half dozen small, evangelical schools. Thus this really shouldn't be suprising to anybody who knows that town even halfway well.

11. Tattoo they should have gotton was 'DUMBASS' across their forehead

Seriously, if I were to consider getting a tattoo you better believe I would do my research to ensure I was in the most clean & reputable place I could find.
