A Sanford man faces charges from South Portland police after he allegedly put tattoos on two underage girls.

State law requires tattoo artists to be licensed and that the application be performed in a clean environment.
Freeman’s bail was set at $3,000 and his bail conditions prohibit him from possessing tattooing equipment, police said.
Police said unlicensed tattoo artists are referred to as “scratchers” and do not meet mandatory state standards, police said.
