Parents of Texas remained furious when their children from high school -going children with tattoos came home from the lesson.
Ashley Armstrong said her 11-year-old son, Jordan, told her that a boy in his class at Travis Intermediate School approached him on Tuesday and gave him tattoos about his arms and 'I Heart My Lord' and 'JC' ran on his hands.
“He got punishment for it. He knows better, “she told Fox 4 News. “He shouldn't have done it in the first place.”
The same needle used on Jordan was then used to tattoo even more high school students, Armstrong noted, and claimed that more than a dozen other parents her names to say that their children were also tattooed.
The school nurse even insisted on parents of each of the students to have their blood tested immediately for infections.
Fortunately, Jordan's test results came back negatively, but Armstrong says that she is still worried about any long -term effects, including whether the tattoos Jordan will permanently leave scars.
“This can influence him. She has a serious influence on him, “she said. “I don't let that.”
Greenville Independent School District Officaries have since released a statement stating that they are 'aware' that 'students gave each other tattoos with the help of temporary ink and the same needle.'

“Due to the relevant health and security risks, the district immediately started an investigation,” the district placed on social media.
'At the moment, teachers who have been assigned to the classrooms where the incident would have occurred have been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation. Their role in this matter will be revised to determine whether further disciplinary measures are justified. '

The Greenville police, however, said Wfaa that it is not involved in the investigation and it remains unclear which law enforcement agency works with the district.
It also remains unclear how a student brought the needle to school and whether he or she is confronted with every discipline.
The school also did not indicate whether the teachers knew that tattooing took place in their lessons.
