This guy has been all over Shiges' work and is obviously quite proud of doing it, Now he has had a go at my dragon. I fully understand if your work is out there on the web then it is fair game for these uncreative fools to pick up and tattoo on another unwittingly fool but you don't then post it up on social media for everyone too see. This guy is a total fanboy, posted pics with Shige at the Melbourne convention and does exact copies of personal paintings Shige puts in his book for his customers.

@Lochlan Having some trouble attaching images to this thread. I usually go to the advanced posting options and use the attach file But the advanced option is not available anymore that I can see, what is the best way to post these Jpg's? Thanks

You should see the 'go advanced' button at the bottom of the thread right next to the big green button. Once you're in there, you can click the paperclip icon to attach an image, or if you already have images in your gallery, you can click the big yellow square to add those images to your post.

@steve1461686340 When i hit the 'go advanced' it doesn't bring the paper clip and all the other options up at all. I tried on my phone and it does bring them up, Not sure what is happening here.

It sounds like you probably need to try a different browser, or clear your browser cache. Google Chrome, Firefox, and safari should all work fine. Internet Explorer is less reliable.. try holding down the CTRL key and then hit the F5 key on your keyboard - or CTRL + ALT + E if you're using Safari - to clear your browser cache.

He has taken down the picture off Instagram and sent me a message saying sorry and that he had no choice because his client wanted that exact dragon. Since when do we hold guns to the head of the artists tattooing us, this guy knows exactly what he is doing. @ian Check out the 1st page of the 'dragons' thread it is one of Dean Sacreds' dragons wrapping around a sword, variation of Fudo Myoo.

If it means anything... the guy who invented the wheel is still getting fucked today....

A patent expires after 17 or 20 years depending on the type, and copyrighted art becomes public domain 70 years after the artist is dead. So the wheel dude has been screwed for a while. So, from a tattooing perspective, the deal is still pretty good and better than the wheel. If you felt like trying to enforce it.

It has been a big debate as to actually who owns the "art" after it is tattooed on a customer!

It is also a debate as to whether a tattoo is indeed covered under the US copyrighting system unless a physical finished piece of art was done!

And if you don't register you piece of art with the US Copyright Office.....you can only receive the profits someone makes from your work! Spend several thousand dollars to recover whatever profit the guy made from the tattoo!

It's a battle most would never do because other than principle.....you just loose money!

Yeah, there was a good discussion a while back. I was just commenting on the "wheel" post.

I think I wouldn't have a problem with the tattooer owning the copyright as long as there was a creative commons license or some sort of a permanent license of some sort to allow display of the work, even in a public setting where the wearer was making money in a way that was unrelated to the tattoo.

But, not trying to restart the discussion here. A whole thread is here for those so interested. http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/general-tattoo-discussion/4151-artists-who-copy-tattoos-styles.html

    • First let me say I've never seen exactly that related to tattoos. Second, I am NOT a doctor, so take any advice with a grain of salt and follow it at your own risk. I do have something like that which appears on my face from time to time. After multiple visits to the dermatologist, which didn't fix it, I finally came up with my own treatment. Whenever it flairs up, I just wipe the area down with plain rubbing alcohol three or four times a day to keep it dry. That usually works within a couple of days. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it would hurt anything for you to try that. Good Luck.
    • Hey, I have a serious problem! I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed. 2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo. 3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..) I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies. Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either. When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body. Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick. On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly. They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch. Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie. Has anyone already had this problem ? Does anyone know what that could be ? I add photos: 1) Photo directly after tattooing. 2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week 3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone. 4) Photo of the body on the left.
