Tattoo Artists Try To Control Thier Work
Published Monday, October 01, 2007 by James | E-mail this post
I thought I'd heard everything on copyright...seems tattoo artists don't like others making money off their designs. So if I have a custom tattoo, and I sell myself to a ad in a magazine, as a model, they want to sue for copyright infringement because I made money off my upgraded body? I might have associated their work with something they don't care for...
Scary stuff...

Lawyer says, get a contract that covers...any copyright that
artist may have; Indeminification by client for the artist for any supplied
work; Reservation or licence-back of right for artist to use
photos of the work; Client agrees to credit the artist in commercial photos
