Tattoo artist arrested, accused of providing service to juveniles

In Texas, it is illegal for an artist to give a juvenile a tattoo without parental consent, so when a Houston-area father heard his 16-year-old daughter allegedly got a butterfly tattoo from City Boyz tattoo parlor, he wasn't happy.

“This location is known by multiple juveniles in the area to be the place to go get a tattoo if you are underage because they wouldn’t ask for any identification,” Lt. Kenneth Key said.

Armed with a warrant, it took Precinct-4 deputy constables less than a minute to find Fernando Sanchez inside City Boyz tattoo parlor. Sanchez' nickname is "monster." In his police mug shot you can see that he has the word name tattooed right below his nose.

He also has tattoos all over his face, on one side you can see the word “murder” in bold letters with a picture of an assault rifle located right under it, near his cheek.

“And knowing his criminal background and his gang association; it was just horrible. My wife and I were just terrified,” the girl’s parent told 11 News.

Hoping to protect their daughter, the parents asked us not to reveal their identities.

11 News learned Sanchez is documented by law enforcement authorities as a member of the Houstones. It's a gang you can only join behind bars.

Searching court records, we discovered that he has a lengthy criminal history, serving time for burglary and felony assault.

Now Sanchez has been charged with giving a minor a tattoo at City Boyz, which at the moment is still open.

“The officer said they were going to shut the place down because there were several health code violations,” the father said.
And because of his daughter's new butterfly tattoo he says he is concerned.

“We're going to have to have her blood checked, which is a real concern for us right now to make sure she doesn't have any HIV or hepatitis,” said the parent.

11 News was unable to reach the owners of City Boyz to get a comment but, the juvenile told detectives that many of her high school classmates got their tattoos there.

That's why her father said he sent a letter to the school's principal hoping other parents will know what is going on.

“Students were putting themselves at risk each time they entered that store," he said.

He says parents should check their kids for hidden tattoos.

“You know we talk about drugs and alcohol with our children, but we forget to talk with them about tattoos,” the parent said.
