EASTON Talbot County Public Schools parents recently received a news alert about a popular yet dangerous activity children have started attending throughout the country.
The new craze, tattoo parties, got the attention of the Talbot County Health Department, TCPS and the school system's health provider, Choptank Community Health Systems.
The parties are held in someone's home for a chance to get cheap tattoos, typically in a basement without parental knowledge, according to an alert sent to TCPS parents. The children are often unaware if the tattoo artist is licensed or professionally trained, increasing the chance for infections.
This is got hepatitis written all over it!
