So there’s this warning about a tattoo artist in Chautauqua County. Health officials say it would be a really good idea if anyone who recently got a tattoo from a guy named Kenneth Paul Fenti in Jamestown can come forward so they can be tested for some pretty bad things. Like HIV and hepatitis.
That’s because authorities say Fenti used a homemade tattoo gun that was made out of a BATTERY OPERATED TOOTHBRUSH.
Now I’ve never gotten a tattoo....it really wouldn’t show up very well through the fur….but it does seem to me that when you do let someone stick a needle into your skin you’d want to make sure everything is perfectly safe….and if the guy whips out this type of contraption I’d say thanks but no thanks. A toothbrush! I mean, do you go to proctologist who uses a Black and Decker power drill? Or a hair stylist who uses a weed wacker?
Fenti is charged with violating the county’s health code. Apparently it’s tough to get a tattoo permit when you make Edward Scissorhands look safe.
So far, no one has tested positive for any disease as a result of this….and hopefully no one will. But they have tested positive for stupidity.

I think my proctologist does use a Black & Decker drill on me.
