Tommorow I'll ave a tatoo

Jade Dragon sued again over misspelling

Note the "AGAIN" in the title.

Quote:
A Chicago man with a misspelled "tomorrow" tattoo on his forearm filed a negligence suit Friday in Cook County Circuit Court against Jade Dragon Tattoo and Body Piercing, 5331 W. Belmont Ave.

The suit, seeking more than $30,000 in damages, marks the second time in the last 17 months the parlor has faced litigation by customers alleging tattoos had misspelled words. Last year, a customer said he left with the word "CHI-TONW" instead of "CHI-TOWN."

In the latest suit, Alfonse Wingfield, 30, said he asked for a tattoo in 2006 and was inked with "Tommorow Never Promised Today. John P. R.I.P." Wingfield said he paid the shop $250.

Wingfield alleged the artist, Mike Edrington, added clouds around the phrase to fix it, which only made it worse.
Some people never learn.

Dyslexic tattoo artists. This is a problem.

Actually, when you go get a tattoo, it's not like they grab a tattoo gun and start drilling away on you. You agree on the artwork with the artist. Then make a template and put it on you first. You look in a mirror or whatever and approve the location and the artwork one more time. Then they go to work. The person getting the tattoo should bear the responsibility for getting what they want.

Tattoos are PERMANENT. Anybody who just randomly trusts some tattoo artist without even verifying everything in the tattoo themselves is an idiot.

I studied Chinese in college, and I have actually only seen two or three "Chinese character" tatts in which the owners had anywhere near the correct English translation, and some of the characters aren't characters at all...
