NORWICH, N.Y. -- A man and a teenager have been charged with forcibly tattooing an obscenity on the forehead of a 17-year-old boy, police said Monday.
Officer Craig Berry declined to describe the tattoo, except to say it was a phrase.
"It's just ludicrous that someone would do something like this to another person," Berry said.
Kenneth D. Peer, 23, and a 17-year-old boy were charged with assault and unlawful imprisonment. Police were withholding the name of the 17-year-old, who was charged as a youthful offender, Berry said.
The two were in jail in lieu of $25,000 bail. A court hearing was scheduled for Wednesday.
The victim -- whose name also was withheld by police -- walked into the police station Friday to file a complaint against his attackers. The victim told officers he had been held down by a man and another teen at a Norwich residence while they forcibly tattooed the vulgarity.
Police said the three men knew each other, but officials have not established a motive for the attack, Berry said.
Berry said the attackers used a homemade tattooing instrument. Berry said it was likely the victim would require plastic surgery or a laser process to remove the ink.
No Clinton 2008
The 23 year old should've known better.
Maybe the word "liberal" or "democrat"?
first thing I wondered is if it says RAPIST or something similar.
Tattooins seems a particularly vindictive act.
Actually, the only obscene word nowadays seems to be "Christian."
Norwich Police Officer Craig Berry declined to describe the tattoo, which is an extremely obscene phrase and a diagram.
It was more than words?

Oh no wait, this one was done willingly.
That'll teach him to be the first to pass out..............
Actually it should be: White middle-aged male christian who smokes and has a weight problem
My guess is #&*%! or possibly even %$@&*!. Sarge in Beetle Bailey used those phrases regularly.
I'm not sure that's gonna do a lot of good.
LOL!
context is everything
