News: Tattoo Artist Gets Four Months for Nose-Biting Assault

Phillip Canale, a tattoo artist from Salem, Mass., has been given a total sentence of 8 months (four in jail, four at home with a tracking bracelet) for trying to bite off the nose of John Turcotte during a fight. I'm not sure what tattoo shop Canale supposedly worked out of, but if you're a client of his, he won't be tattooing again for a while.
