Comments on: Tattoo Typo Led to Lawsuit http://www.neatorama.com/2007/08/09/tattoo-typo-led-to-lawsuit/ The Neat Side of the Web Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:10:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Monster http://www.neatorama.com/2007/08/09/tattoo-typo-led-to-lawsuit/#comment-180424 Monster Fri, 10 Aug 2007 15:26:45 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/2007/08/09/tattoo-typo-led-to-lawsuit/#comment-180424 I'm on the customer's side. If you actually read the article, Hacker admits that he's the one that mixed up the letters, and the customer didn't catch the mistake. The customer didn't even realize until the next day that it was messed up, probably because it was hard for him to notice the mess-up by looking at it backwards (in a mirror). It probably took a friend making fun of his new tattoo for him to realize it. I’m on the customer’s side.

In the word "Chicago", 'chi' sounds like 'shi', so is "Chi-town" like 'shitown'? How do you pronounce that Chi-town? In the word “Chicago”, ‘chi’ sounds like ’shi’, so is “Chi-town” like ’shitown’?

It didn't go particularly well for the defendant, I seem to recall.

If I was getting something permanently emblazoned on my body, I think I'd want to check for spelling errors first. And if I knew that I was bad at spelling, I'd bring along a friend who wasn't.

Classy. So he has a Maori women’s tattoo, a tribute to silence of the lambs’ serial killer Jane Gumb and a misspelled slang name for Chicago. Classy.

Egads. You know, I lived in Chicago for a while and even though I'm not "into the tattoo scene" in any major way, even -I- had heard - from multiple people - to stay the heck away from Jade Dragon if I wanted any work done ... guess there was reason for that after all! As for all the anti-tattoo sentiment ... pfft, it's kind of interesting how other people feel their opinion ought to matter when it comes to body mods done to a body -other- than their own ... What ever happened to "to each their own"? Must be nice to be so free of problems of your own that you can spend energy fretting over someone else's decorations ...

I wonder how many of those narrow minded bigots have body modifications of their own. No one comes into this world with steel puncturing their earlobes and boys are generally born with foreskins. Few even question these modifications in our society. Tattoos have been around since the Neolithic era (at least). And I bet tattoo artists having been mistakes since then as well. Just like doctors, they are human beings. We all need to learn to be careful and informed consumers.
