What if you spent a lot of time creating something beautiful and someone else came along and stole it and told you you should be grateful?

Artists put a lot of time, talent and soul into their creations, and unless the artist chooses to offer the art for free nobody should expect to receive it as a gift.

I’m sure the people stealing tattoo art would be outraged if something of theirs was stolen and the thief said it was out there for the taking.

i think that people shouldn’t get mad over this “stealing art work.” unless the person is going around and saying “yeah i made that” people shouldn’t be getting mad over it, if they just use it for a tattoo because they like it the people should be grateful that the image was so good to them that they had it tattooed onto there body

THANK YOU! I recently asked somebody if they got the permission of a Japanese artist for her tattoo. I was basically told that you could steal whatever image you liked, so long as no big corporation owned a copyright. I was APALLED! Why would you think that an artist’s intellectual property was perfectly okay to take?

If people don’t expect to get tattoos done for free, they CERTAINLY shouldn’t expect to get tattoo artwork for free!

THANK YOU. I just asked somebody if they asked a Japanese artist for permission when she used her art for the tattoo and was told, basically, that you can steal whatever artwork you like! I was apalled, doesn’t intellectual property mean anything?

If you don’t expect to get a free tattoo, don’t expect to get free tattoo art, or steal it!
