Thousands of dollars raised to erase a young man's tattoo in Brazil

More than 5 thousand dollars raised a group of people in Brazil to help erase the tattoo that a dealer did on the forehead of a young man who tried to steal a bicycle.

"I am a thief and a vacilon" placed on the teenager's face with ink used exclusively to make tattoos, which initially generated some support reactions, however with the passing of the hours, most were in rejection of this action .

The 17-year-old was tied to a plastic chair, his hair was cut and his forehead was tattooed.

The Afroguerrilha Collective, in charge of the initiative, raised more than five thousand dollars through collective microfinance.

Maycon Wesley Carvalho dos Reis, and his neighbor Ronildo Moreira de Araujo, who made the tattoo, were accused of "torture" after holding the 17-year-old and tattooing his forehead.
