Louisiana Man Sues Over Mis-spelled Back Tattoo
Gretna resident Jeremy Van Camp sues a tattoo artist after his back tattooed name was rendered as Chinese characters that spell slang and phrases like Kung Po and Shaolin. He says the art misrepresents his name and identity and he relied on a poster labeling the work as the Chinese alphabet. The suit alleges miscommunication and incorrect translation led to an inaccurate inscription. Police or court involvement not detailed.
