| By NBC News staff A North Carolina woman is in trouble with the law for tattooing her 11-year-old daughter, according to a published report. Odessa Clay, 30, of Grantsboro in Pamlico County has been charged with one count of tattooing a person under age 18, WCTI-TV reported. In North Carolina, it's illegal to tattoo a minor. Clay was arrested and charged in late September after police in Havelock, where she used to live, found out she gave her daughter a small, heart-shaped tattoo near her right shoulder, according to WCTI. Clay, who herself is heavily tattooed, said she used her own tools. "She asked me to do it," Clay told WCTI. Watch the most-viewed videos on NBCNews.com Clay said she numbed her daughter's arm for the procedure and her daughter was never in pain. Clay said she did not know that tattooing a minor is illegal. She told WCRI that she believes a former in-law reported the tattoo. She is due in court next month. More content from NBCNews.com:
