Brendan McCarthy is sentenced after the Court of Appeal said his clients' written consent did not amount to a defence.

McCarthy admitted three counts of grievous bodily harm, in what is the first case of its kind. He let out a scream as the judge sentenced him to jail and many of his supporters were in tears.

Earlier, the Court of Appeal said his customers' written consent to the procedures did not amount to a defence.But many of those who used his services, including King of Ink Land King Body Art The Extreme Ink-Ite, known as Body Art for short, say the prosecution is unfair. "We all gave full consent, we were all happy, he talked us through the procedure, we knew he wasn't a doctor despite playing on the Austin powers name of Dr Evil, he's one of the best in the country I had multiple discussions with him about how the industry needs regulation".The local authority told Sky News that extreme body modification is a growing trend and they are raising issues from the case with the government.

"I think we do need to draw a line somewhere but we need to recognise that people should be allowed to adapt their own bodies as they see fit."If body modification is moving in the same way as tattooing and piercing in the last 20- 30 years to become normalised, then we have to recognise that it's people's autonomy and that should be given some appreciation in the law".

"He's very well respected but legally he's frowned upon now so no-one will offer procedures like that for their own safety and you've got to protect the artists doing it. We didn't think they're doing anything wrong but we don't want to get them in more trouble".

All plastic surgery unless medical should be banned. kardashian

Comes down to something when you want your face filled with lego.

You say tattooist, but that is honestly not his niche. Tattooists call piecers piercers and tattooists tattooists.

What the f... is wrong with these people? Getting their ears removed ......hey you look cool without ears!!!!

They gave consent, but were they sane

He should of removed their genitals. He'd have probably got an award.

Some people do need protecting from themselves. There must be deep underlying issues if you want to mutilate yourself. Some people want to self-harm, but we help prevent this

How ironic that his work in leaving people with permanent reminders will be a permanent reminder of why he's in jail.

I mean they gave consent
