Suit: Tattoo Parlor Inked Sox Logo Backwards
CHICAGO (STMW/WBBM) - A woman claiming a Northwest Side tattoo parlor accidentally inked a backwards Chicago White Sox logo on her thigh filed a lawsuit Thursday against the business and the artist.
Elmwood Park resident Eugenia Bebis claims that on June 5 Mystic Tattoo Art & Body Piercing Corp. employee Micah St. John improperly tattooed on her a backwards Chicago White Sox logo on her thigh, according to a suit filed in Cook County Circuit Court.
Bebis has undergone extensive laser tattoo removal procedures and will require more procedures and a larger tattoo to cover up the laser-faded backwards tattoo, according to the suit.
The suit claims Bebis suffered pain from the laser treatments and disfigurement from the backwards tattoo and the treatments.
The suit claims, among other things, Mystic Tattoo failed to notice the tattoo was being inked backwards and didn't adequately train and supervise employees.
An employee at Mystic Tattoo, 3120 N. Cicero Ave., could not provide further information.
The two-count suit is seeking damages totaling less than $50,000.
There has been no comment from the tattoo parlor.
