That retard who runs wikileaks might go to prison because he had sex with a girl and the condom broke (they call that rape). You have ignored this user.

Mark It Zero - I got a tattoo on my back that I drew, the artist asked if he could take a picture of the completed work for his album. I had no problem with it at the time. A buddy of mine saw one his friends post a picture on Facebook a few years later of his new tattoo and it was identical to mine, except for the color. I was livid but wouldn't even think about filing a lawsuit over that.

That would piss me the fuck off, too.

Again, this Escobedo guy is just looking for a payday. Pathetic. I hope a lot of people hear about this, and loses a good amount of clients over it. Greedy fucks like him are what's wrong with the world.

OnlyTheStrongSurvive - If that guy wins he will basically kill real tattoos of athletes in video games forever lol

Or they could stop being 9/11 terrorists and pay license fees to the artists. Im sure Dana would agree.

You think the people that make NBA 2k want to track down every single tattoo artist that's put something on a players arm, and then pay them? Not worth it. Phone Post

FinestScotch -
Complete BS.

You tattoo'd someone, contributing to their likeness.

Likeness is the terminology used for these games licensing rights (rights to use the likeness of X fighter). Therefore, unless you agree with the fighter ahead of time that you get a piece of his likeness, you having created the art does not entitle you to jack shit.

You've been paid for your work already, you greedy POS.

well put. this Phone Post

As a fellow artist, I can see where he's coming from.

Unfortunately, it's obvious he's just trying to get paid. It's a fucking tattoo. Not a hanging piece of art work in a museum or a clothing line logo.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Yup it's a pathetic way to collect a check ... Work harder and do prints if you wanna have a pissing contest over copyrighted artwork ... Phone Post

Hope to God you're trolling.

THQ isn't profiting off of a lion tattoo. No one's going, "OH MAN, I CAN'T WAIT TO BUY UFC 3 AND PLAY AS CARLOS CONDIT, HE'S GOT THAT BITCHIN' LION FACE ON HIS RIBS, BRO."

I wanna facepalm to shit out of my face right now...with my palm.

Guy is a d bag. My tattoo artist and I have talked about this. In his eyes, the more my tattoos are advertised the better for his business.

He's not trying to collect a one time settlement, it's worth more to him to advertise and tell people he does my work if I'm on tv.

The fuck outta here, like your the only guy to draw a lion!

If I were Carlos, I'd tell THQ to put a black smudge on me for the game instead of that tattoo. Phone Post

Are you serious?

It's a commissioned piece of art on my body.

You do see the difference here no?

Better examples if you want to argue please. Phone Post
