Texas middle schoolers shared needle during mass classroom tattoo sessions — in front of oblivious teachers (2025)

Your kids are stupid - pretty much all kids are stupid at this age - should not equal any payday for any parent.

Texas middle schoolers passed around a shared needle and participated in mass tattooing sessions in classrooms while their oblivious teachers carried on with their lessons, leaving parents outraged — and worried this week.

The youngsters reportedly used temporary ink to carve one another’s bodies with the shared needle Tuesday, officials said, igniting concerns that they may have also injected themselves with disease.

“How is it that these kids are getting tattoos in class and not one teacher noticed it?” irate mother Ashley Armstrong fumed to Fox 4 News.

Armstrong’s 11-year-old son, Jordan, used the dirty needle to scrape “I heart my lord” across his entire forearm and “JC” on his hands on Tuesday while he was inside his classroom at Travis Intermediate in Greenville.

Jordan claimed one boy approached him and offered to tattoo him. That needle was then “shared several times from one class to another class to another class,” Armstrong told the outlet.

The nurse called Armstrong to notify her of the alarming incident — and warned her to get bloodwork done immediately.

Fortunately, the tests came back negative for any diseases. Armstrong lectured Jordan — saying “he knows better” — but questioned how teachers allowed the underage tattoo session to go as far as it did.

“It’s with the needle, so I don’t care if it’s temporary ink or not,” Armstrong said.

“This can affect him, seriously affect him. I’m not letting up on any of that.”

Greenville ISD on Thursday confirmed the bizarre debacle, stating that it had suspended several teachers assigned to the classrooms where the incidents occurred as an investigation is underway.

Maybe you, as the parent, should be paying more attention to what your son is doing. I think if my middle-schooler had a tattoo down his whole effing forearm, I would notice it.

I'm no hypocrite. My now adult daughter hid piercings and tattoos from me as a teen, but they were ummm....well-hidden and not in a place that would be appropriate for me to have seen.

"Hey, everyone. I'm, like, so edgy, rebellious, and free-spirited, you guys! Nobody has done what I'm doing before. Hey guys, look at me."

I'm not a big fan of stretched piercings/gauges, but other than those I think both pictures of his tattoos are really cool. The second one the artwork and the colouring of the black are super eye popping, haha!

I am all for not exaggerating, being super safe, avoiding public, licking toilets on a plane (it's fine on trains though), not caring about new hot plandemic, sorry pandemic, but this is something else.

My friend had full symptoms covid 11 times, despite 4 vaccines, I know some people have weaker immune system etc, but still, what was the point?
He's 36 in good health otherwise

It includes managing a train, working at the biuro, and washing suiciders from them, apparently, even though it's like worst forensic thing I can think of.

I highly doubt it's true, but I heard of stranger things in Germany

But what were the vaccines for then?

First they say they stop the "pandemic" altogether, it won't spread. When it turned out not to be true, you can't get sick if you have it, false too. Then you won't have symptoms, again no. Then at least you will go to heaven.
Only the last one cannot be disproven.

We has to keep children isolated and lonely for two years, but let them use the same needles which cannot have any closer contact with the body and blood?

I may be only 18 and a half, but I remember time when we were reasonable and didn't go from one from one extreme to another.

I like this meme
It's something like "people always ask" how are you going to look with that tattoo when you're 80?"
First picture - what a hot piece of ass
Second-what a monster"

I may or may not have given and gotten tattoos in high school... however no needles were shared, and they were all sterilized, and done with real tattoo ink, granted still the stick n poke style..

I also pierced numerous belly buttons, ears, nipples etc... again everything was sterilized etc and the piercings were done with real piercing needles... them laying on a towel on the bathroom floor in the school for the belly button piercings, and sitting on closed toilets for the other piercings , we def were not in the most sterile of environments... I never got busted, no one ever got an infection, thankfully and I went on to get my body arts license, granting me tattooing and piercing abilities... neither of which I do anymore and I let my license lapse around 23 years ago... ok not entierly true, I still have done some random ear and nose piercings on the side for friends ha ha
