A tattoo artist has been charged with torture after he tattooed “I am a thief and a loser” on the forehead of a teen in Brazil.

Daily Mail reports the accused tattoo artist Maycon Wesley trapped the teen after he allegedly caught him stealing a bike off a man with one leg.

Footage of the frightened boy being tattooed, whose family says has mental health and drug problems, has been widely circulated online after being uploaded on June 10.

An online campaign to help the teen have the tattoo removed has raised more than $7,900.
