The “Chi-Tonw” tattoo - Tattoo Typo Leads to Trend
A similar nickname is popping up as a tattoo on skin all over Chicago. The tattoo says “Chi-Tonw,” and while the spelling comes close, it isn’t exactly one of Chicago’s many monikers. The “Chi-Tonw” tattoo can be traced back to Sam Hacker, who has been a tattoo artist for 11 years. He remembers the day that a man first walked into his tattoo parlor asking for a tattoo that said “Chi-Town.”
“I gave him the stencil and he said, ‘Yeah that is perfect. I like that,’” said Hacker. As he has done nearly every day for the last 11 years, Hacker routinely applied that tattoo with no complaints - until later that day.
