What is this logic that tatoos remain the property of the tatoo artist
How you pay for something and it's still not yours?
the same why you use windows on a PC, you paid for the license to use it, you don't actually own the program

if you buy a piccasso for 100 million... do you think you can take that image and start selling it?? noWhat is this logic that tatoos remain the property of the tatoo artist

if i draw up a picture on my laptop... and give you a copy... do you think you can start selling it?? no
if i draw up a tattoo and you pay me to draw it on you, do you think you can put it anywhere you want (like a game FOR SALE) and not cut me in? NO
the problem comes when you gain profit... the nba players association gets paid off these games... therefore all their players get paid... therefore money is being exchanged... which is fine....
until you've taken one of my designs, got paid off "lifelike players" but i didn't get any money for this
same thing happened to mike tyson and the hangover
Mike Tyson's Tattoo Artist Settles 'Hangover 2' Lawsuit
The Mike Tyson-inspired tattoo from "The Hangover Part II" will not be digitally altered for the film's DVD release, after the tattooist struck a settlement with the film's producers.
The film's production company, Warner Bros., announced that it "amicably resolved" its dispute with tattoo artist S. Victor Whitmill, who created the original design for Tyson.
Whitmill sued Warner Bros. in April, saying that he did not give permission for the company to mimic the motif for actor Ed Helms' character "Stu" in the movie. He claimed the filmmakers copied the design that he tattooed on Tyson in 2003 in Las Vegas.

Hmm...ok I understand this a lil better now...I mean it makes sense in a practical way, it's just strange to know that you're not fully the owner of your own body : once the tatoo is made, it becomes part of your body, but according to this logic (which is sound, by the way), your ownership of your body (and thus it's representation and what you can do with it) is limited. Interesting concept...

If you buy a copy of a painting, you dont own the rights to that painting. When you buy a Polo shirt do you own the horse logo?
