A Chicago White Sox logo was tattooed backward onto a woman’s thigh, she alleges in a lawsuit filed Thursday.
Eugenia “Gina” Bebis of Elmwood Park went to Mystic Tattoo Art & Body Piercing in Chicago for a tattoo made up mainly of the Sox logo, according to the suit. She consulted with an employee, Micah St. John, and he worked up a proof of the design, the suit says.
Mr. St. John then inked the tattoo on the outside of her thigh, and when she was able to see it, she saw that it was backward, with the word “Sox” in reverse, according to the suit, which names as defendants Mr. St. John and Mystic, 3120 N. Cicero Ave. in Chicago.
Ms. Bebis, 20, alleges in the complaint that she “has had to undergo extensive laser tattoo removal procedures, will require further procedures in the future and will also require a different, larger tattoo to cover up the laser-faded backwards tattoo at issue.”
The laser treatments have caused “severe and continuous pain,” according to the complaint, filed in Cook County Circuit Court.
She’s seeking damages not to exceed $50,000, according to the suit.
“My client wants the shop to be accountable for what it did, given how obvious the mistake was to the person inking the tattoo,” Ms. Bebis’ lawyer, Daniel C. Fabbri, said in an e-mail. “She just wants this taken care of, and to be compensated for all that she has had to go through, especially the incredibly painful laser removal process.”
Talk about dysgraphia. Thinking about starting a dyslectic blog since they can't. I bet SpellCheck would be a b*tch.
