PA inmate sentenced for tattooing a minor in Bradford County
BRADFORD COUNTY, Pa. (WETM) — An inmate in a Pennsylvania State Prison was sentenced to more time recently after officials say he was caught driving with a suspended license and was also found guilty of giving tattoos without consent to a minor, according to a release from the Bradford County District Attorney's Office.
Carl W. Button, 53, was sentenced to an additional 12 months on top of his minimum of 14 months to a maximum of 48 months in state prison for the crimes of driving under suspension, DUI-related, and the misdemeanor of tattooing a minor, as stated by the DA's Office.

The DA said that Button was charged by Pennsylvania State Police with driving under suspension, DUI-related, in March of 2024, following a traffic stop on Marsh Street in Wyalusing Borough after he was found to have a suspended license.
Further, the DA states Button's charge of tattooing a minor stems from an investigation by a Pennsylvania State Trooper after reports that Button was giving tattoos to a minor in Bradford County without the consent of the parents.
Button was already in prison on other charges, including possession of drug paraphernalia and avoiding arrest.
