BEWARE- Don't Hire this Guy

Tattooist is charged in rape of customer Webster man fired from tattoo parlor By Brian Lee TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF DUDLEY A 22-year-old tattooist was arrested in Webster on Friday and charged with raping a customer. Steven M. Lauziere Jr. of 26 Eastern Ave., Webster, also was charged with indecent assault and battery on a person 14 years old or over. He was arraigned in Dudley District Court yesterday and scheduled for a pretrial hearing Sept. 6. Mr. Lauziere, an employee at Steel & Ink tattoo parlor, 373 South Main St., Webster, was supplying body art to an 18-year-old woman there, and midway through the job asked her if she needed a break, police said. The woman told police that he took her into a back room, and against the womans wishes made inappropriate sexual contact. The woman pulled away and went outside to have a cigarette, according to the statement. Mr. Lauziere followed and asked her to come back inside so that he could finish the tattoo, records indicated. At that point Mr. Lauziere repeatedly offered to pierce her genital area for free because the parlors owner was on vacation, the woman alleged.The woman and a friend proceeded to the police station to report the incident, around 5 p.m. The stores owner, who identified himself only as Electric Ed, said he already has terminated Mr. Lauziere. As a company we did the only thing we could do, he said. We have zero tolerance for that kind of thing here; we run a clean shop. Mr. Lauziere had been employed about six months, the owner said, and there were no previous complaints about him on file. >>>>>>>Kudo's to Electric Ed for terminating him immediately.

Thanks for the heads up Krystof!...And here is another for you guys to watch out for!... Mike Leonardo is his name but he goes by the name of Reaper...he got some work at my shop and then went to Texas and by using my shops name and saying he apprenticed under me he got hired in a shop...he was fired almost immediately since he knew so little about tattooing...he then came back to St Joseph Mo and conned a local businessman into financing a shop called "Garage Ink"...they specialized in the worst hacker shit I have EVER seen and had the rep of doing piercings and tattoos on minor girls for sex.This guy would allow anyone to use his shop to tattoo regardless of tattoo knowledge as long as he got drugs, money or sex for his time. This "Reaper" is the worst sort of hack and should have his thumbs removed!!...Be on the lookout for him!!!..He has a habit of saying he apprenticed under me and worked at my shop...and it is total bullshit!!!...Last I heard from him he was tryin to get a job with Lord Erlich at the shop Erlich runs...but he made the mistake of using my name to someone who knew me and had my phone number!!! Mike Leonardo..."Reaper"...DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY!!!!!...TAz

I actually went to high school in that town, it's a shithole. I understand how you wouldn't want to hire someone who could drive away customers, but you should not be treating this as if he is truly guilty. He's only accused at the moment.
