A disabled Australian man was betrayed by a friend who made a tattoo artist draw a picture of a 16-inch penis on his back.
23-year-old Christopher William Lord is said to have encouraged Matthew Francis Brady, 24, to imprint the picture of the penis on his autistic friend’s back.
The duo have both served prison terms for the offence.
NY Daily reports:
Brady began to tattoo the man, but instead of drawing the agreed symbols starting outlining a giant penis and testicles.
Underneath, he wrote an obscene phrase.
Afterwards, the victim fled the property and showed his back to other friends, who told him what had really been drawn.
Lord this week pleaded guilty to assault occasioning bodily harm while armed and in company.
Judge Greg Kopppenol said the duo had taken advantage of a vulnerable man.
“It was a miserable offense,” he said, according to the Queensland Times. “You acted miserably towards a vulnerable young man with a significant disability.”
Brady was jailed for his role in the attack in 2011.
The Queensland Times reports that the tattoo has since been covered over by a local artist who gave his services for free.
