Hey, what kind of strings ya’ using?

January 5, 2010 · Posted in News, Yobs 

Apparently, it isn’t just Tennessee; people in Georgia can be batshit crazy too. From CBSNews…

Tattooing six of their underage children with a jerry-rigged machine, using a guitar string as the needle, sounded like a good idea to Patty Jo Marsh and her husband Jacob Edwards Bartels at the time…

…Turns out Georgia state law prohibits both tattoos on children and those created by unlicensed artist…

…Police say the “parents of the year” used a plastic pen body with a needle made from a guitar string connected to an electric motor to tattoo six children and themselves…

…The Georgia Department of Family and Children’s Services was called. All the children were placed with other family members upon the couple’s arrest

.So, whaddya think? Obviously, a wound string wouldn’t work. It’s got to be thin but have enough backbone to tattoo with. Probably, an .015-.017, I’m guessing. I’m an Ernie Ball man myself but, I could see going real old-school for a project like this…maybe…Black Diamond.

    I remember I was with my parents over the summer in Vegas. I was trying to play guitar but I did not have the tuning thing down. The big thing was I had the high E too high, to the point they snapped. So, I went to a guitar shop and got like a dozen high Es, figuring it’d be better to be prepared for that. Guitar shop guy wondered if I was making a tattoo gun.

    The whole thing here sounds like a personal problem. And we only deal in worldwide to galaxy-wide, peridontal phenomenon, globally missharpened, ice sculptures and monkey dust.

    But if you must bring out this fusion-blended, baby mamas’ modern family’s rites of passage as charged :: “Marsh and Bartels were arrested December 28, and are charged with three counts each of illegal tattooing, second degree child cruelty and reckless conduct.”

    :: Then we have to illustrate rite of passage amongst youth subjects throughout all recorded human history. Nay or Aye? Anthropologically speaking or no?
