'CHI-TONW' tattoo lawsuit filed/ dupe matcom beat me by a minute
Edited on Fri Mar-02-07 09:37 AM by AngryAmish
"Michael Duplessis loves Chicago so much that he wanted its nickname tattooed on his chest.

But the idea went terribly awry in a North Side tattoo parlor: He left with the word "CHI-TONW" inked into his skin where "CHI-TOWN" should have been.

Now Duplessis is suing the business and the tattoo artist for monetary damages in the 2005 mess after suffering what he says in his lawsuit was "emotional distress from public ridicule."

"It was so embarrassing," Duplessis, 40, said Thursday from his home on the Northwest Side. "It was on my chest, and it was spelled wrong. I had to deal with all the people teasing me about it."




damn you matcom

1. If he didn't recognize it as misspelled to beging with,
I don't see how he could sue.
