Thank you for that news, Kavin.

Artists Get Misspelled Tattoos For Sued Colleague
Sam Hacker Admits He Misspelled Tattoo, Says Man Who Sued Never Came
Back To Get It Fixed
CHICAGO - Support has been growing for the Chicago tattoo artists who
botched the spelling of a tattoo on a man's chest.
Michael Duplessis filed a lawsuit recently against Jade Dragon Tattoo
and Body Piercing, at 5331 W. Belmont Ave., over a tattoo that he said
was supposed to read CHI-TOWN in capital letters. He says it came out
CHI-TONW.
As a show of solidarity on Thursday night, several tattoo artists got
the CHI-TONW tattoo themselves, on purpose.
"My friends are supporting me by saying, 'Hey, you know, it happens.
We've done it. You just got, you know, blown up on it," said tattoo
artist Sam Hacker, who gave Duplessis the tattoo.
Hacker admits he made the mistake two years ago, but offered to fix
it. He said Duplessis never came back.
Hacker is offering the tattoo to customers at Jade Dragon for free
this Sunday. So far, eight people have already signed up.
Duplessis, who is a mechanic, filed the lawsuit earlier this month in
Cook County Circuit Court. The suit sought monetary damages, and he
claims suffered "emotional distress from public ridicule."
Duplessis - who is a mechanic - says he paid $250 for the 2005
tattoo. /copy and paste from
