FAQ : Tattoo Copying

Hey guys, I hope you're doing great, it's me, you're a lovely business carrot. I thought I'd use this again because when I used it in a video I did recently, my

tattoo

tag video on Victoria Jane, you guys are just like, oh god, this dog is so cute and they compared me to a carrot and a strawberry so many times in that comments section, so I thought I'd bring it back and entertain you with this anyway, in today's video, unfortunately I'm going to be talking. about

copying

tattoo

s again. I've definitely been mentioning this old issue a lot on my channel and I hope this is like the last video I make about this for a while, at least hopefully I keep my fingers crossed and nothing major shows up anywhere I thought.

I literally compiled everything about

copying

tattoos into one video and then if anyone has questions or anything, I'll direct them to this video because I'll cover everything. I don't know how long this video will be. I'm going to try to be a little brief, but I want to address a lot of points if you've ever had any questions about tattoo copying and what's okay to copy and what's not okay to copy and why. Is it such a bad idea? You know when people compare it to other things? Yes, I will cover it all in this video.

I know for the most part many of you watching this already know this and know it. what's good, what's not good and why it's a bad idea, but I hope this can help people who are still a little like that. Well, you know what it is for everyone and you can copy it and take it because why not? For those it is everything. I have a lot of notes written here on my phone, so if I keep looking down, that's why talking about copying tattoos is not a new thing. I have made many videos. I think I made one first. maybe a couple of weeks after capturing at least his first burn capture, there is someone who has made some videos on how to copy tattoos and I made a video to back up his claim and I was like, you know what I'm going to do?

Add this in as well and then I've done a few here and there as the years have gone on so this isn't something new but yeah if you're a fairly new subscriber or haven't seen my older videos. or whatever it may seem like, suddenly this is all I'm talking about, but I've made videos like this before, but like I said, I hope this is the last one for a long time. Hopefully, fingers crossed no one gets a full suit. from someone else you know so when you get a custom tattoo let me clarify what custom tattoo is a custom tattoo it is a tattoo that has never been done before it is our ideas of you the client and the ideas of your tattoo artists and tattoo artists just invent something that has never existed before and we have taken some elements, maybe from a movie or something, but for the most part it is a custom drawing, it has never been done before.

It's new, it's fresh, it's exciting, okay? You hear me say pretty custom drawn in this video, that's what it means, so when you get a tattoo from a tattoo artist and you've requested something from them, whether it's your ideas or a mix of your ideas and theirs, and if it's like a line tattoo, something very, very simple, but again hasn't been done before. I think I'll use Johnny Gloom as an example in this just because I recently used his work as an example, but you know, pretty simple line work. black work tattoos so even if you request something like that maybe it won't take that long to draw or maybe it will, it depends, you know sometimes artists will draw something and say no it just doesn't work, they'll do it again. and over and over again or if you go to a tattoo artist who specializes in huge back pieces like Julián Carlos laughs sometimes Silbert then Zuber he makes really huge tattoos.

I get too small tattoos too, but he's known for his chess pieces or his torso pieces and his back pieces, so if you go to him or someone like Johnny Gloom, who just likes a small chess tattoo limestone, it doesn't matter either way, that tattoo artist has put in the time and effort to draw something for you if you've gone for these tattoos. artists for a custom tattoo, the price of your tattoo also includes that work of art, you are paying them for their design and their time, and for them to tattoo you, that is what you are paying if you get another tattoo, I'm going to say tattoo . or not, tattoo is in my mind is someone who creates tattoos and is artistic, a tattoo artist in my mind is someone who just copy and paste, so if there is another tattoo, take that design that the tattoo artist has created, then we use a Julian as an example here, if that tattoo artist takes that design and puts it on someone else, the original artist Julian has gotten nothing out of it, they have stolen all of his hard work from another tattoo artist just to put it on someone else, the original tattoo artist you're not getting any money or There's no credit for this for your hard work because of course the original client already paid you, but then someone else came along and said, "I'll take that, okay, so that's a good example with the one to compare this, so you could be Well, whatever the artist has already been paid, but no, it shouldn't work like that, so if I were to use a song by a well-known artist like Who Can, you can't even think about cutting anyone's thing right now.

Let's say I took a song from Travis Scott, okay, I love his music and if I put it in a video, my video could be removed or if not, any of the money I make from that video will go to him because that it's your intellectual property, it's your music right and it will also be credited to you because when your video on YouTube gets crossed out or whatever you'll notice, if you add more information, they'll be a little bit at the bottom that says where it is. music is because you know whoever their record label is will put it on there, they get credit and they get money from me using their song in my video, so they get paid and whatever, but when it comes to tattoo artists with their designs and Your hard work gets nothing from it, nothing, no recognition, you get nothing from this person taking your work of art.

I will put it on someone else if you copied someone else's homework or copied a large part of the text from a book at school or university or whatever, if you copied a lot and put it in your essay, homework, project or anything you can do for plagiarism, that's plagiarism when you take a big chunk of someone else's work and words and claim it. as your own without crediting that is plagiarism when you take someone else's things correctly, there are many cases, especially in colleges and universities, where people just take a bunch of things that are not theirs, give no one credit and then get expelled from college or university, right, that's a big thing that happens, but it's only fair that you get a good grade on someone else's paper because you didn't write, you just copied and pasted it right, that's not right, so let's see what Here I am saying that when you copy someone else's artwork or tattoo and put it on someone else, it is plagiarism because you are taking someone's idea without credit, you are not paying them or anything, you take it as someone else's hard work.

Basically, just taking something that doesn't belong to you is like the number one reason why copying tattoos isn't a good idea, you just shouldn't do it. You have no reason. I recently made a video where some of my subscribers recreated my pizza pin-up tattoos, took inspiration from my tattoo, and then created so many different versions that aren't even identical to mine. You know, it's very, very easy to take ideas or inspiration from other people's things and create something completely. unique, you have no excuse or reason to take someone else's work of art, just no, there is no excuse, many people have told me: well, then what you have copied from someone else's hard work or whatever, no It's a big deal.

Other people do it right, yeah, a lot of other people do it, doesn't mean it's right, murders aren't right, but there are still people here doing it and it's not right, you know, I say just because people are doing it, doesn't mean we all have to do it, you know, yeah, there's no more right now or a higher power, so to say that copying tattoos is wrong, it's just not policed ​​at all, the only kind of thing you'll see in court. Things like this happen when big brands like Forever 21 or Zara Topshop or those who take designs from independent artists like Etsy or Instagram or Pinterest or deviantART and then put them on a t-shirt or a pair of socks or whatever, it's very common. and sometimes the original artists make a fuss by saying: hey, you're monetizing, that's what you're monetizing my artwork because every time they send a forever21 t-shirt or whoever receives money from this artist's design is and Sometimes these small independent artists can afford to take it as something cool and other times they can't and they just get away with it and yeah, it's very comparable to tattoos and also tattoos that are something that lasts a lifetime.

You know, this is a piece of art that lasts someone's entire life, it's not even comparable to fashion because you know with fashion you wear it for a year or whatever, if it's like a t-shirt or a fashion t-shirt with a slogan or a piece of art like that kind of things go in and out of fashion, nothing that would be less like if that had happened to an independent ice, obviously, it's a horrible thing to go through, but you know, I'm saying that there's nothing here that controls the tattoo copying what it is, it's pretty big.

I deal with the original artists getting nothing from their hard work, no monetization, no credit, nothing, so one argument a lot of people like to bring up is traditional tattoos. When you look at traditional tattoos there are many traditional tattoos that are the Same thing let's use my rose as an example here this is a traditional rose tattoo traditional rose tattoos have been around for years and years and years and years and years the traditional name explains it all within this style it is traditional I am sure some of you have traditions, maybe you know that on Thanksgiving you will go bowling the night before or on Christmas, you will go to church on Christmas Eve or for your birthday you go to the same restaurant or you know that everyone has little traditions here. in there it's something that you do the same thing every year or maybe on Sundays you have a movie night with your family you know it's something traditional you keep doing it it keeps repeating that's what tradition is like the key to style is in the word there, so yeah, you'll see the same kind of things, roses, anchors, swallows, tiger head pin tattoos, you'll see the same kind of designs and especially with things like let me depend on them, we just get rid of that , especially with Sailor Jerry's Touches, so the Sailor Jerry-style touches are still done by traditional chassis rights who want to keep it alive, which IMO is fine, that's how it was back then when the Traditional tattoos became a thing, that's what it was, it was very copycat. and stick and that's the style, but now if we go into this era, there are a lot of tattoo artists that do traditional styles and they will do those traditional tattoos like roses, anchors, tiger heads, all that fun stuff, but they look very different between yes because they have all been done in a different style and their composition is also very different so yes you will see multiple rose tattoos but if you really look at the rose tattoos they will all look very different. one artist will tie your head and then another will make a tiger head, but you will see that they are very different.

Just because it's the same doesn't mean it's like a copy or anything, that it has a different color palette. or have different lines of work, just because it looks the same to you doesn't mean it's a copy, a copy is like copy and paste identical, like you can't really see many differences, okay, the other reason why copy tattoos just don't It's a good idea, you could be copying someone's very personal tattoo, so let's say save me, for example, so let's say I get a memorial tattoo for my mom. I put myself like a heart and inside that heart there are little things that remind me.

She loved Turkish Delight and she also liked Antiques Roadshow and what else did she love gardening? So let's say if I had those three elements in a heart and I get it and I don't know why someone sees it, they think oh. that's really nice they don't know the reason behind it they don't know the meaning they don't know how personal it is to me and then they go to another tattoo artist and say hey can I have this and then they put that on? Hi, that's my personal tattoo of my mom. You know, it's like you don't know what you're taking, you're taking something very personal and sentimental from someone and you're like you don't have any respect. with or without consideration for the fact that that could be something very personal and again it's my ideas and my tattoo is ideas and creativity all in one and it's so personal that you just don't take something like that, it's like stealing from someone. family photo album like why would you do that? what are you going to do with that?

And yeah, I've had people message me saying, "Oh, I had to get a tattoo in memory of my grandpa or my grandma or my uncle, aunt, brother, whoever, and it was like a nice custom-made tattoo and then someone copied it." not original that has no respect, it happenswhich is sad, it's shit, okay, so another one that people would love to mention is the fact that I have a Heart Tattoo on my finger here, I don't know, you can see, you just have to zoom in there, so yeah, as you can see here, I have a very simple heart tattoo that also has like a bone tattoo on my finger and a bow here, no.

The wrong finger is here and I have this eyeball situation here also this here by the way is henna. I don't know if you can see that, but I have some henna dots there. I got a little bored. People like to drive there. and you say you are a tattoo copier because you have a heart on your finger and everyone else is fine too, let me know that anyone can get a simple heart outline tattoo. It's not revolutionary, it's not creative, it's literally like people have been drawing attractive outlines since the dawn of time, right, it's just a hot scheme, it's you, you can't change it in any way to make it different, yeah, I could color it or whatever, but everyone else has coded it, you know, something like that.

As simple as this, it's like it has the same eyes with stars, diamond shape, things, triangles, it's not a custom drawn piece in any way, it's okay, I'm not making excuses, it's just the way this works, a type of symbol that drags up. quite a bit and it's a good example of a very good example is the Deathly Hallows symbol from Harry Potter, a lot of people have this tattooed and rightly so, just so you know, Harry Potter is a big part of a lot of people's lives, the symbol of the Deathly Hallows. is a public figure that I would like to be great, it's something for everyone to enjoy and also with its definitely sacred symbol, if you changed it in any way, it would no longer be the definitively sacred symbol, you know, if you remove the middle. kind of like what is that, it's not anymore, it's a triangle, which I say, so you can't change that, but here's the book, so if you had the Jeffrey Hallows symbol on your wrists or anything interesting, It's not a copy of a statue because, again, you can't change much about it, but if you were to get a custom-drawn sacred symbol like this tattooed on any side that flanks it, I don't know, but however you can Look, in um, the Deathly Hallows symbol is there, but there are also elements added around that tattoo to make it personalized and unique from Duffy's other Deathly Hallows symbol tattoos, so if you were to copy this tattoo, yeah, the copy of the tattoo is a custom drawn tattoo, it is not. it's really part of the book or something, you know it's really different, it's not something you would see every day, but if you got a tattoo with a definitely hollow symbol, okay, whatever the public figure is, it's cool, they're the things drawn as we kill.

It is not something everyday that you see with hearts, triangles and symbols in books and movies, no, it is something public, another thing that people like to drag is the portrait, so, for example, portraits of Lady Gaga, you can make a portrait tattoo surprisingly in many different ways just incredible amounts of different ways so there is art that specializes like traditional portraits or realistic portraits or black portraits or shoddy black portraits. I don't know how to explain it, it's quite abstract G, but it's like realism at the same time. What is your price? Jones is a good example of that as she does somewhat realistic tattoos, but they are how I see them too, but yes, you can do portraits of Hatcher in so many different ways than if you get a celebrity tattoo. person and then compare it with another tattoo of that same famous person that is so different when it comes to copying tattoos it is not about what the theme is but about how it is done that is the problem another one that confuses quite a few people is the letters and the quotes again, if you have a lyrical quote, if you change the words in any way, it's not the original quote or lyric, you've changed it too much, you can't remove words, you can't remove punctuation or whatever, because then it's not the crow or the original lyrics, so if you were to receive a text message about you, I don't know a quote, I have one on my arm from Coco Chanel that says to be irreplaceable one must always be different. and it's just text, it's just words, it's nothing, so the way you can change lettering tattoos or tattoo quotes is by font, for starters you can get so many different fonts nowadays it's crazy, so that's one way to do it. different, but the only problem when it comes to attaching a copy and again with quotes and lyrics is if someone had the exact same thing and said: "I got my tattoo to be irreplaceable in a heart and it had flowers around it and maybe there's a logo from Chanel forever, which is why I don't know why I would ever do that, but yeah, it was pretty unique and personalized like that and it's never been done before and then you copy it, that's a tattoo copy, but if you get the same thing. quote like me dying tattoo you're copying it it's a public quote it's very well known for the most part I'm sure most of you may have heard it, I don't know but yeah it's when you take someone's creativity as something personalized .where an artist actually took your quote and then made it different, you know, that's the problem, so I hope that clears it up for you.

It's the same thing I did before with this example, but like the Statue of Liberty, there is. many Statue of Liberty tattoos, but again, you can get them in many different ways, so if you copy like a line drawing of the Statue of Liberty, it's not okay, but if you create your own, you go with the artists. and you say, "Hey, I want to tell the Statue of Liberty." them and they just design the right thing everything is great, you know, she's a public figure, she's there for everyone, okay this is the one that annoys me the most, I don't know why, but this Marie drives me a little crazy. one that people love to say, i.e. if you don't want people to copy your stuff, don't post it online, then dude, yeah, yeah, sure, free lamp or my recently been pizza pinup country almost copied, but There are a couple of changes, but it was far beyond inspiration.

The image on Pinterest where this girl got my photo from. I don't think she knew who I was or anything, so she got it from Pinterest. She is on Pinterest several times. different accounts or whatever, but that photo is my artist's photo, he took that photo and he has many more followers than me. I posted that photo on my Instagram, but when I got it I don't think he even had 2,000 followers, maybe 3,000, honestly, no. I don't remember, yes, when I understood that I didn't say this, but despite how well-known I am now, two years ago, I don't even remember how many subscribers I had, not as many as now, so I don't know, so no one took it for granted. my profile.

I think they took it from his profile because he was much more well known than me and there were also some tattoo posts and Instagram pages that reposted it correctly, so I literally had no control over what I did. I have no problem with him taking a photo, you know, that's his job. Tattoo artists need to have a portfolio nowadays, it is very difficult to find tattoo artists who do not have Instagram. You know, I say there are many. tattooed eyes I don't know how many like it as a percentage, I mean maybe 90% use Instagram as an advertising tool and as a portfolio.

I think I've discovered so many tattoo artists on Instagram who have tattooed me. I would never have discovered them if it wasn't for Instagram saying that artists should post photos of their work on Instagram to advertise and get new clients and become better known, so if I didn't post their tattoos then I would like how they do it. I'm going to make money, how are they going to make themselves known? I always say I have no idea how artists did it before on the Internet. I guess people would walk into whatever old studio was near them and get tattooed.

Honestly, I don't know. I'm talking like the '70s here like the '80s or whatever before you know Google and then okay, then you're probably okay, yeah, that makes sense. I guess that's okay, cool, but why are you posting it? Why do you post your touches if you don't want to? to be copied, well my job is literally to sit here and talk about tattoos and from my experience maybe I need to share my tattoos to show you what I'm talking about if I were to just sit here and talk about the tattoo I have.

I arrived from Amsterdam recently, so I recently made a video about my tattoo. You know, I would go to Amsterdam if I sat here and talked to you about it, but didn't show you the tattoo. How boring, how boring it would be for me to sit here. and describe my tattoos to you because you know for fear of someone copying them, no, absolutely not, that's not cool, like no, we're not going there. You can't point the finger at people so share something that they're excited about or that they love or they just want to share with people to say hey, like I saved up a lot, a lot, to get this tattoo and I waited a long time for this one. tattoo artist tattooed me and it's like a celebration post to say hello.

Look at my new tattoo, it's very fun, I love it. I traveled far to get tattooed by this artist. There are so many reasons why people post their tattoos online. You can't just say yes, you're falling in love, so in a way I like it. Explain this to people who don't really understand it, this is a really shitty example and it's not comparable at all, but it's the only thing people care much about, so let's say you're at a party, a house party or whatever. You leave your phone like it's on the kitchen counter, on a table, whatever and you look away for a second when you're talking to someone, you know you're at a house party, you think it's safe and then suddenly , look back and your phone is lost, it's lost now imagine if I was having a conversation with you, your phone was lost and I said, well you should have left it, why would you leave it?

It's your fault, what do you expect? he, I'm sorry but that makes me feel bad, no, if I start blaming you for the fact that someone stole your phone, right? You're doing the exact same thing with me and other people who put their tattoos online, yeah , I put it online, but does that mean you take it? You know, just because it's outdoors doesn't mean you can take it. There are cars appearing in the street. You know someone steals a car on the street. Is this the person who parked it? It's the fault of the person who parked it.

The person who stole it is very juicy and says that when you go shopping at a mall where we buy food and obviously nothing is closed, there is just food or clothes everywhere, does that mean you can take it? Just because there's something there, doesn't mean you can take it. I don't understand why people say when they're like us you shouldn't post it online, it's like okay, are you a thief? Do you go to Tesco every day and steal your stuff like you don't pay for it? you're respectful, you're behaving like a law-abiding citizen in that situation, so why can't you respect them the same way you respect people's nails and phones and cars and things like that?

I don't understand, I can't believe I'm having to use objects like this to explain it, but okay, okay, here's another one that's pretty funny, but not really and you'd like to say, well, you don't see me outraged or angry because you have the Same hair color as me. or you have the same blouse as me or the same jacket as me, all that fun stuff. Well, for starters, tattoos are not comparable to hair, so for example, we both go to the same hair salon, we both have blue hair and the same cut. Now for me, my hair fades extremely fast.

You see I had teal hair literally a week ago and now for some reason I have green roots and blue hair, my hair changes on its own, yeah we both have blue hair for example. my hair has now become like this now you end up with green roots and blue hair you can still end up with blue hair okay, like hair color cuts and all that fun stuff changes all the time your hair grows the hair color fades the tattoos are permanent and there are working nails they are mass produced they are for everyone you know there are so many of them in so many different sizes they are there to wear they are there to buy them and they are there for everyone it is not a work of art , it is not a work of art. unique piece, you know it's like when fashion has no voice it's such a bad comparison but I'm sure you can understand what I'm saying but it's like my fashion Nova takes Kim Kardashian's unique outfits that have been custom made for her and then she plays it and it never looks the same it's always really bad tasteless stuff ooh I mean just don't do it I'm sure you know I'm telling you another thing that people like to say It's about of works of art for you to see.

I have some picture frames here and I have artwork here. I have artwork there and I have artwork here. They are all done. Well most of them are made by the delicate Weis and they have what they have done is designed a print and mass produced it to sell. They are very aware that there are manypeople who are going to have this. That's why they did it. It is a way. to monetize their art so that everyone can have it, it's the same whether you are going to like TK Maxx or any other piece of art, I don't know, but again, that piece of art has been made and produced so that the masses can have it, It's like a matter of agreement. like an artist designed it and drew it and they just like it, great, a lot of people are going to have this and then they will get paid for that design or they will get paid for every thing that is sold, like TK Maxx will get a cut and then the eyes they'll get a cut too like the art, they'll get paid for that piece of art when someone's copies are tattooed, the original artist doesn't get paid for it, you know what I'm saying?

Okay, this is another one that I get comments from in some way, and then it's from people who feel super super guilty and I just want to make you feel a little bit better if I can so I get some comments or messages from time to time saying that I have a tattoo I copied I didn't know any better eyes didn't correct me and with tattoos what's done is done there's nothing you can do about it because you know unfortunately tattoos well no unfortunately but tattoos are permanent , if you want to change them, you know, add a couple of elements, that's fine, but don't feel like you have to, it's yours. actions from here on out, so let's say today you are aware that you have a tattoo that you have copied or you have copied a couple of tattoos, those are your actions from this moment on, so if you continue to copy tattoos after this video or That's the problem as soon as you realize and you go on, you know, copying other people's art and that's the problem, but if you stop and say, "wow, okay, I just realized that's a Bad idea, I'm not going to do that." again, okay, you're a good person, don't feel like a bad person or anything because you did it, because yeah, not everyone knows why it's a bad idea, not everyone watches YouTube, not everyone has access . to this kind of information, but don't feel bad if you've done it and you weren't aware of it or whatever, okay, the next one I want to talk about is when people get a flash tattoo, so what is a flash tattoo?

Elias will write up quite a few items, put them on his Instagram and say something like I want to do this I want to do this This is up for grabs It's a good way to attract people who aren't. They really know they want to get a tattoo or they know they want a new tattoo, but they just don't know what, so sometimes you see a design on an artist's profile, you're like a saint, I really like that and you. I'll understand, so unfortunately sometimes there are some tattoo artists out there, that's the key word again.

Tattoo artists will take other people's Flash designs, they'll even repost them like they didn't even draw them again, they'll repost someone else's Flash sheets on their Instagrams and say, "Hey, I want to do this," or they just said "track it." " or just draw it themselves and what they saw on Instagram, that unfortunately happens and you are in no way to blame for that. So without knowing you had no idea I really don't have any similar tips or tricks to help you detect when that happened. Honestly, I have no way around it, the only way, honestly, I don't know how you can tell.

Find out if it was taken or whatever I would say, see what the artist normally does, so a good example to use right now off the top of my head is Keeley Rutherford, she does a lot of cute Disney designs and posts a lot of Flash on his Instagram stories and I don't know if he tells it, yes, I think he does from time to time, on his real Instagram you can see that each of his flash designs is his idea and what he does because that is in his style and she does tattoos that she is known for or not, she shows what she is known for doing, if that makes any sense you can see that it all comes from her, but if you look at someone's page you will see a flash tree and it doesn't really look like something they normally do to me, that's a red flag again, they may be branching out and doing something they want to do, but if you have sketchy vibes, you know you're not safe.

A good way to know if it's like a copy or whatever, maybe if you type on Instagram, Pinterest or Google wherever the design is that you've seen, so say you see. I don't know the traditional bb-8 or flash tattoo if you write. that on Pinterest like BB, a traditional tattoo design, see if it's there somehow, see if there's something very similar and then obviously if you see something very similar, then you know he just took it and redrawn it or whatever, it's a good way to double check, but yeah, unfortunately it happens and a copy of you told me that it happened to you and you felt really bad, but it's really not, it's not your fault, you know it really is. is.

Isn't it the asphalt tattoo? Okay, last point I want to cover. I hope I covered everything honestly. I may have missed something and I'll feel really bad if I do, but anyway, one thing people tell me is that I found this. design or I found this tattoo on someone else and I really liked it a lot and I don't really want to change it or I can't imagine having something different you know you like it you really love this piece and you're like I really want it, but you know that, morally, copying a tattoo doesn't it's a good idea and you're worried that you won't be able to find an artist or that the artist you go to won't do it justice and I understand that I can relate to that on a daily basis I swear I would never do it I would like to deny or lie and say I don't see tattoos every day so I think holy I wish I had that every day I see a tattoo and I'm like I love it so much why isn't that on my body every day?

I'm sure many of you can relate to that, but that's it, you know you can even use things as inspiration. I know you can use these tattoos as inspiration, you just can't stick them on your body, but yeah, I can relate to the whole thing about seeing a tattoo and wanting the exact same thing, and knowing that any changes made to it will probably work. I don't do it justice, but this is what a tattoo artist does: they take your ideas or your inspiration and they make it ten times better, 20 times better because there are some questions like: Okay, so what do you like about this tattoo?

So let's use my pizza pinup tattoo as an example, let's say you like the fact that my tattoo has tattoos on it, so you'll say that to attach it to you, why should that go well? I like the fact that this pinup has tattoos. Great, the eyes will write what you do. I'm sure that's very common in your new custom designed tattoo, you know, and you can say wow, I like it too, it's kind of like the 50s vibes and he'll be cool, amazing, he'll write it or she'll be sorry, shouldn't I just say you know, the only artists around here are him, she's, so, Zalm non-binary, so you can also say oh, you know what I like, that the pizza is a pretty big slice and then he'll be great, type that in and then it will take all those elements that you really like about my tattoo and create the most amazing thing ever and if there's something about it that you don't like or that's a little weird to you and you're not like a hundred and ten percent cent interested all you have to do is say hey, I don't like this element, is there any way to remove it or change it?

How to make art? It's a great use of this kind of thing, no big deal. deal, it's not a problem. I know you may feel a little bad saying I don't like what you've done here. I understand that you feel guilty and feel like you're not appreciating his hard work or whatever it is you're feeling inside. but that's their job, it's their job to create the most amazing piece of art you've ever owned. You know they love what they do. If they didn't, they wouldn't do it because being a tattoo artist is a hard job that maybe not.

It seems like it, but it takes a lot of hours and it's creative work. You also know creative block or artistic block or whatever. There are a lot of downsides to being a tattoo artist but creating something that your client likes trumps it all and that's why they do it, if there are elements that you don't like you can tell them or you can say "hey can we really exaggerate this element?", so say there's something about this design that you really loved and you say you'd actually do it. I love more of that or you want it to be bigger or you know that's the key focus.

You can mention that, like communication with tattoo artists, is one hundred and ten percent key in this, so I understand why I'm worried about you. I know they won't get what they want because they've seen the most perfect design or tattoo ever, but I promise you a money back guarantee. If you find a good artist who is so passionate about what he does, you're going to get something beyond amazing, you know? copying tattoos doesn't have to be something it really isn't and I highly recommend that if you haven't you watched a video made recently where my subscribers were inspired by my Pizza pinup tattoo and created a completely different piece of art like this.

It's so possible and it's so doable and it's inspiring and I think I've covered it all. I'm sorry this video is so long and I'm sorry to be talking about this again, but I really just wanted you to know. during the tattoo copy faq and address everything oh my gosh okay hello it's me from the future. I literally just finished filming and was reading my comments on YouTube related to the tattoo etiquette video I recently made. and someone asked me how I feel about Dave's tattoos, so if you don't know what a flash day tattoo is, it basically depends on each studio, so I was at a flash day once.

I think so, what is flash day tattoo. where a tattoo studio does an event, all the tattoo artists will design, you know, five tattoos, ten tattoos or whatever, sometimes it will be very basic or sometimes it will be something quite elaborate. The one I got at a tattoo flash event. I'll probably show you without exposing myself too much. I have this cat lady face. I don't know if you can see it. My legs are hairy. I'm sorry, but I have this thing here and the artist who made this. I had a cleanup sheet and what the situation was for this blush day I attended was like first come first serve, whoever was there first claimed their tattoo designs first and then that tattoo didn't get done again you know. a unique situation so you can have flash days like that, which is fine, no one here copies anyone because only one person does it, but sometimes there are flash days at tattoo studios where there will only be one sheet of tattoos and then all the artists. in that studio is working from that sheet and several people will have the same design now, in my opinion that's fine because everyone agrees, everyone is green to have the same tattoos as everyone else, you know it's an agreement mutual, although it could be a case where each of Weiss's tattoos has its own sheet, but there are only a couple of designs on there and everyone knows there are three designs on this sheet and there are like a hundred people here, obviously Pete, there will be replicas or whatever.

I agree so I haven't been to one of those where there's like a sheet or there's not a lot of designs to work from what I absolutely do because again I agree that there will be other people with the same tattoo as me also another about my future is another comment that I have seen a lot and/or questions that I have had a lot and that is from people who say that I am from I don't know, for example the United States, but I really love this tattoo artist in England. I can't travel to England to get this work from these tattoo artists.

Can I commission something from you or commission something from an artist for any reason and do you have permission from the original? artist or you get a piece of art from the original artist and you have in writing that you can get this as a tattoo and another tattoo artist is willing and okay to do it, then it's okay, as long as you have permission from the original artist, it's okay , the only thing is that there are a lot of tattoo artists out there that don't do commissions, they don't draw you, design and get another tattoo because they say if you really want my artwork, you'll travel for it.

You know, and this is coming from someone who would travel around the world to get a tattoo. I can understand, you know, obviously it's expensive and obviously not everyone can afford to do it, but that's the way it is, so some are. okay and they will take the time out of their day to draw you something for another artist to do, but for the most part they won't, they won't and that's how it is, it really is that way because when you commissioned a piece of art, you don't It's the same amount as a real tattoo, that makes any sense, so oh, I could charge you that much, but the likelihood is that you're going to go ahead and give them like five hundred quid thousand pounds for this custom design.

It's very unlikely because you'll still have to pay for another tattoo to get it done so it will be more expensive and in the end you might as well have traveled honestly so yeah, designing another tattoo for someone who is really not. They don't get the money they could that's why they don't do it so yeah if you have permission from the original wall requests and want to get a tattoo of someone else's design then yeah I don't see anything wrong with it . thatyou can have permission if you have permission go out do what you want but if you don't have permission no one man it's not yours you have no rightHey, so I'm a future me again.

I've been editing and realized I've missed a couple of points. I shouldn't have gotten it right, uh, no, this video is already too long, but I'm just going to add. Anyway, why not while we're here? Because this is definitely the last time I want to talk about this. I'm sick and tired of talking about tattoo copying for the most part. It's definitely something I'm passionate about. definitely something I want you to know my platform is a voiceover if that makes any sense you know some people say oh god just get a life there's more to the world than this and I'm not stupid I know there's a lot terrible things. things happening in the world, but this is my content, if you want to hear hard news, go to Philip Defranco, okay, you know what I'm saying anyway, one point that confuses people and that's a good thing, if the Taschen copy is so bad, why? they are artists that do it, why their tattoo?, all the tattoo artists come out, they are doing it and for the most part it's just that they want your money, they don't care about you, this is something that I want to emphasize to you a lot , any decent person.

Tattoo artists will never, ever copy someone else's work. They are never super in love with what they do. They wouldn't even dare. It's like throwing your friend under the bus. You know, what I'm saying is if you copied someone else's blah. like throwing your friend under the bus because it means they have no respect for him or his craft or something, but I want to sound like super stubborn and I know everything and blah blah blah, people seem to have that. opinion about me and whatever, okay, I've been touching my tattoo, why is that laughing and I mean, they laugh so much at their work and it shows because they're so excited that they'll email you and say, oh my god, yes?

I'm really excited about doing this and you know you like going to your tattoo. Voice passionate about his work. Yeah, I can't even explain it to you, so it makes the experience ten times better. And you look at that tattoo and you can. You know, you remember the day you got it done and how excited the tattoo artist was. They like to go to any older person who will copy a tattoo for them. They don't love what they do, they just love the money. It's as simple as that and you deserve it. much better than that I promise you just give the creative tattoo artists a chance and get an ice touch that will do something unique for you and I promise it will be the best experience yeah so anyways in a nutshell just They want your money they don't care they will tattoo you anything and anyone and you know, if they don't care what they are putting on your body then they don't care do you know what I am? saying another thing that I want to mention too quickly, which is something that is mentioned and I was hoping people would just assume it with what I said about the Harry Potter symbol, they are definitely the Hallows symbol, but I'm going to mention Disney in case That people say I still don't get it with Disney, it's the same thing, you know, it's a public figure, it's there for everyone to enjoy and the thing is, with Disney tattoos you can do them in so many different ways.

Like not all Disney tattoos are the same, it's as simple as that, the only thing I'm going to emphasize again just in case, the only problem with copying tattoos is when you copy another tattoo line for line, everything is pretty similar. I'm going to say 80% or more similar is a tattoo copying anything underneath, it's kind of like what you know, that's what copying a tattoo is, it's not when you know I have a tiger tattoo and You have a tiger tattoo that can't be copied, you know? it's just when you take a tattoo and copy it it's not the object that stresses us out again it's not the object but how it's done right hi it's me again editing badly it's been a while obviously removing my makeup but someone else has done something that was quite It's a good point and I think I've already mentioned it.

Here I am. Honestly, I just want to cover all the bases for barbell blades. I think I mentioned about color in this video but there are flash books on color sheets and sometimes when you walk into a studio I haven't seen many studios that do this anymore to be honest with you, it's more old school studios. which are as noticeable as the warps and stuff, but people have had questions about the sheets and stuff like that. when it's all over the wall, when it's sheets and things like that that you see all over the walls and things that have been made specifically for mass production, if that makes any sense, then if you go to a studio and choose something of a wall that is there for a reason, it is there to be mass produced, yes you will see other people with exactly the same tattoos when it comes to tattooing eyes that make their own flesh, normally nine times out of ten they will do it by touching a once and then. they'll strike it out and that's it, they'll never make that attached again, so normally in that sense of the terms it's like a custom flash piece that's applied to play a copy and so if you copy the custom flash piece from someone, so example, let me show you recently, so this was a flash piece right here, throw it on the artist's Instagram, she did it once and she won't do it again.

Write something that's a custom flash piece, but if you were to pick something off a wall in a studio it's probably a lot of people have done that because they have to produce cover sheets that you'd see in old school tattoo studios, so are there, yeah, if you were to copy that part that I just showed you and that's part of touching the copy if I were to take something off a wall and then someone else did it, not touching the copy because that design has been mass produced so that a lot of people use it, basically, like I said in this video, the only time people get angry touching the copy is when it's a custom drawing that's never been done before or it's a custom drawn flash piece like I just showed you and that's all anyway.

I hope everyone does very, very well and in my next video, goodbye.
