My kind of Tnow

Man gets Tattoo. Tattoo has bad spelling error. From Chicago Business:
Tattoo typo? Man sues over alleged misspelling
Error has caused him 'emotional distress from public ridicule,' complaint says

Maybe Chicago really isn’t Michael Duplessis’ kind of town — or “TONW” for that matter.

Mr. Duplessis is suing a Northwest Side tattoo parlor in connection with a tattoo he received that he alleges mistakenly read “CHI-TONW” above a rendering of a John Hancock Center-like skyscraper.

The misspelled tattoo, which Mr. Duplessis received at Jade Dragon Tattoo Inc. at 5331 W. Belmont Ave., has caused the Chicago man “emotional distress from public ridicule” and “loss of self-esteem and psychological pain and suffering,” according to a complaint filed Feb. 13 in Cook County Circuit Court.

The complaint alleges that workers at the tattoo parlor “fraudulently induced” Mr. Duplessis to sign a form that waived them of any liability for work performed on the tattoo.
Maybe someone should invent a spell-check for tattoo needles... Posted by DaveH at March 2, 2007 8:24 PM
