Lawsuit filed over typos in tattoo
ST. LOUIS, May 4 (UPI) - A St. Louis Cardinals fan has filed a lawsuit
against a tattoo parlor for typos in a design meant to honor the
Cards' 2006 World Series win.

Jason Harris of Ferguson was so enthusiastic he went to the House of
Ink the day after the Cardinals won their final game against the
Detroit Tigers. He wanted a tattoo that said "St. Louis Cardinals,
World Series Champions, 2006."

Harris's lawyer told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the tattoo artist
misspelled "world" as "worlb" and made the year 2000, when the New
York Yankees won the Series.

"This is embarrassing," Edward Luby said. "He has a tattoo across his
back that's spelled wrong. This is not a laughing matter."

Harris is seeking $25,000 in damages. Thomas Baxter, owner of House of
Ink, said he has offered a refund and free correction of the erroneous
tattoo.

"I want to do right by the guy," Baxter said. "I don't know why he's
taking things this far." /copy and paste from

heh

Okay, I guess there's almost an excuse that the tattoo recipient would
miss the typo on his back. I mean even if he looked in a mirror, it
might be easy to miss the b for a d or a d for a b as they're mirror
images, right? And the 2000? Well, an 0 for a 6 is not something that
would be as glaring a discrepancy as mistaking a 3 for a 7, right?

A lesson is to be found here for anyone considering a text or
numerical tattoo, obviously.

(Did I spell everything right?)
