A teenage ‘thief’ may be forever humiliated after a tattoo artist caught him and inked his forehead with ‘I am a thief’.
The artist, Maycon Wesley from Brazil, cornered the teen – who had allegedly stolen a bicycle from a man with just one leg – sat him on a chair and filmed scribbling the damning words on his forehead.
The full words, written in Portuguese are: Eu sou ladrão e vacilão, which translates to ‘I am a thief and a loser’.
After inking him, he then cheekily asks if the embarrassed teenager liked it.
Local reports say that the boy – who seemed terrified while the artists drew on his head – went missing after the incident, which happened on Friday.
His family then saw the video of the inking which has been widely circulated online and reported the artists to the police.
Police arrested Wesley and his friend, Ronildo Moreira de Araujo – whose voice can be heard in the video – on Saturday and charged them with torture.
Both Wesley and Araujo say they released the boy but do not know his whereabouts.
That artist should be jailed for such inhuman act
This is so inhuman this boy obviously looks like a troubled teenager. What happens to rehabilitation
Are there no other form of punishment
This artist is worst than a murderer. You are not better than this boy you are humiliating
The artist shouldn’t have done that at all…The best he could have done was to report to the police..That was very unfair of him..The teenage boy could still change his ways..

Wat the artist did is very bad is something that can never wipe off that is very bad of him.
