Man Sues Dyslexic Tattoo Artist

A Chicago man is suing a tattoo artist and North Side tattoo parlor for allegedly misspelling a tattoo on his chest that was dedicated to the city.

Michael Duplessis alleges the tattoo was supposed to read CHI-TOWN (Shy-town) in capital letters. But he says it came out with town spelled TONW.

Duplessis is suing for monetary damages for the tattoo he alleges he received from Jade Dragon Tattoo and Body Piercing.

In the lawsuit he says he’s suffered "emotional distress from public ridicule."

The lawsuit was filed earlier this month in Cook County Circuit Court.

Duplessis — who’s a mechanic — says he paid 250 dollars for the 2005 tattoo.

The owner of the tattoo parlor couldn’t reached for comment.
