The title of this article may seem too simplistic or reduced to the bare minimum of a discussion that requires a lot of depth. However, and in this Sunday reflection that I would like to share with all of you, the readers of Tatuantes, I want to talk about this topic. Copy tattoos It is something that has been done in the world of tattoo as in any other area of life. Articles, songs and, in this case, designs are copied that later end up on our skin.
Every day, I find myself on Facebook and other social networks with different tattooists expressing their discomfort that they have encountered other tattooists who have exactly copied their designs. And this is where the controversy comes in about whether to copy tattoos or not. Obviously, the vast majority will think that it should not be done this way, although we always end up in the hands of tattoo artists.
Graphic example of copying a tattoo and how to do it very badly.
A server has found it necessary to write these lines after finding me on the net the image that you can see just above. On the left we have the original design that a tattoo artist (I do not know his identity) has made. And on the right, a crude, cheap and poor quality attempt by someone else who I do not intend to define as a tattoo artist. And worst of all, if, as you can see, he has tattooed the shape of the nipple. A "unbelievable fail»In every rule that he should be made to rethink his“ professional career ”in the world of tattooing.
It is clear that we are facing a debate that, as I said at the beginning of the article, requires a lot of depth and time to reach definitive conclusions. However, and to finish this Sunday reflection, we must bear in mind that in short, we are in the hands of tattoo artists. When we go to a studio and ask the tattoo artist to make us a design according to our ideas, if we don't see how he does it live, We will not be able to avoid the risk that you have used a design from another tattoo artist as a base.
In addition, we also have another position on this issue, and it is the client who goes to a studio with a design that he has seen in a magazine or the internet and who asks that it be tattooed as is, identical. Even if Most tattooists usually demand in these situations to make the odd change to the design so that it is not the same, We find other tattooists who do not usually mind copying a tattoo from another tattooist. Anyway, be very careful with what you tattoo. And if you want to get the same tattoo that someone else has, go ahead, you are free to do so.
