This past week a New York City tattoo artist caused some controversy over the internet. Artist Mistah Metro,who worked for Prospect Heights' Red Legged Devil, posted a picture of his dog on his Instagram page after giving the dog a tattoo.
His dog had been taken to the vet to have her spleen removed, and while the animal was sedated he was allowed to tattoo the animal. While what he did was not a crime--and the dog was heavily sedated--the picture caused a wave of controversy on the internet from animal rights groups including the ASPCA.
