CHICAGO (AP) ― Chicago man is suing a tattoo artist and Northwest 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 in capital letters. But he says it came out with town spelled T-O-N-W.

Duplessis is suing for monetary damages for the tattoo he alleges he received from Jade Dragon Tattoo and Body Piercing, at 5331 W. Belmont Ave.

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 is a mechanic -- says he paid $250 for the 2005 tattoo.

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