Man sues over misspelled tattoo

A Chicago tattoo parlor is being sued by a man who says a worker spelled the word tomorrow incorrectly in a tattoo on his forearm.

Alfonse Wingfield, filed a suit Friday in Cook County Circuit Court alleging artist Mike Edrington of Jade Dragon Tattoo and Body Piercing gave him a tattoo reading Tommorow Never Promised Today. John P. R.I.P., the Chicago Tribune reported Saturday.

The suit is seeking a minimum of $30,000 in damages, the newspaper said.

Wingfield, 30, claims he forked over $250 for the misspelled body art in 2006.

Edrington argues he inked the tattoo precisely how Wingfield wanted it.

As I recall, he came in here with the word already misspelled. I took (the wording) right off of the piece of paper he brought in with him, Edrington said.

The Tribune said Jade Dragon was recently taken to court on separate occasion when a customer claimed he was given a tattoo reading CHI-TONW instead of CHI-TOWN.
