Vermont state officials are investigating the source of bacterial infections among five young people in Middlebury, all of whom recently received tattoos.
Two of the people who came down with the infection, known as MRSA, had to be hospitalized.
State law forbids anyone who is not licensed from doing tattoos or body piercings. It requires those who have a license to use sterilized instruments.
Officials say they have a suspect tattoo artist in mind, but have not publicly identified who that is.
