THE HISTORY OF OLD TOWN TATU

​

In 1840, a man by the name of Major Noble immigrated from Europe to Chicago. Three years later he acquired 160 acres of land, in which he opened a tavern on.  In 1922, John A. Klemundt bought said property and opened Klemundt Funeral Home; a high volume funeral parlor which operated until 2001.  In 2003, Richie "Tapeworm" Herrera turned what was once a place for mourning, into a place of celebration. This became Odin Tatu, a home for Tapeworm until 2006, when unfortunate circumstances struck and he passed away.  In 2007, his friends and family came together  to re-open Odin Tatu as Old Town Tatu,  which stays open to this day.  Our mission is to  carry on the legacy of our good friend and fellow tattooer, Richie.
