In the days since the Chicago Cubs won the World Series last week, plenty of Chicago tattoo parlors have been busy inking Cubs-inspired commemorations on fans. But nothing has been more intricate than the famous Cubs marquee that now sits on the head of one of the fans.Last Friday, less than two days after the Cubs won their World Series title, Ricky Rainey showed up at Chicago State Tattoo and wanted something to cover his bald head.The owner, Ozzy Munoz, suggested tattooing hair follicles to permanently make it look like he had stubble. But Rainey, a lifelong Cubs fan, with 18 other tattoos on his body, had been dreaming of a spot to feature the marquee.Munoz had never done a tattoo on a head before, so he gave Rainey, 32, the talk he has given others when theyvee asked to put big tattoos in visible places.ddddddddddddI wanted to make sure he understood it was a big commitment, Munoz said. Rainey didnt budge.So Munoz took a picture of the marquee, stenciled it and tattooed it on Raineys head. Munoz said the tattoo would have normally cost $450, but because he didnt have any other clients that night, he charged the $100 an hour rate.Some three hours later, the work was done.Ive definitely gotten mixed reactions, said Rainey, who works for a fast food franchise. But Im happy with it.Rainey told Munoz he wants to fill up the rest of the space on his head with a collage of Cubs players and moments. ' ' '
