Sand, those scenarios that you presented do not relate to this person's situation at all. Almost everything that you suggested was illegal (not to mention idiotic... just my opinion). Is it illegal to get a tattoo? As far as I know, getting one that you like is perfectly okay.

To person asking this question:  If you want this tattoo, get it!! Who cares if one of the six billion people in the whole world has the same one? It's your choice and your body. Titi's right.... what are the chances that you'll actually run into him/her?

Answer 4

do something to alter it a little, then technically its yours alone. make it personal, add initials or a small symbol that is just for you

Answer 5

You really shouldn't steal someones tattoo. My tattoo's were both thought out a lot and unique and I would hate to start seeing other people walking around with them. There's nothing wrong with getting your idea from someone else, but you need to make it your own.

Answer 6

theres gotta be somthing you can alter to make it your own and unique to you...

Answer 7

I'm sorry TiTi, but you are out of line, the tattoos that are the same that are legit, are from 'Flash' or bought from 'Tattoo Johnny' and are meant for anyone to use in anyway that they want.

But to take someones individual custom tattoo, that they designed, that is personal, that is private, etc. .. just because you 'really like' it, is wrong, it is stealing, and you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking that it is o.k. to do.

CargoO - the above is to you as an answer to your question also. Think of it this way. Say that there is a picture of an actor with a great body, and you take that picture and cut the head off and put your own on it and tell everyone that it's you. ??? Or, a you 'really like' a great painting by Van Gogh or Rembrandt, and so you faked a reproduction of it and signed your name to it and hung it in your house...??? Or, how about you wrote a story or a book, and I copied it word for word (or just altered it a little to 'make it my own') and published it and called it mine..???

Besides, it's like those people getting plastic surgery to get Barbies nose and Dolly Partons' b*****s, and Britney Spears kneecaps - they just don't look the same when it's done.

It's not right, you just don't do it.

Fine, admire someone else's ink, whether it is Anjolina Jolie's or your neighbors', but that does not mean that it's o.k. for you to take it without permission.

You are just copping out. You have something in you that is all your own that is yours and would translate into a great individual and personal tattoo, that you would wear like no one else could. (and you would hate for someone to copy). Don't be lazy and copy, do your own work and you will be rewarded by it.

Good luck with your conscience, and your tattoo.

Answer 8

Well, what's your question? You know it's rude and disrespectful to copy someone's tattoo. Print it out, go to a tattoo artist and explain that you really like it but don't want to copy it and would like to have something very similar. He/she can draw up something for you.

Answer 9

look don't worry about what these other people say...if you like the tattoo then do it it's not like the person on the internet is going to see you with it. i am sure there are lots of people with the same tattoos in the world so if you like it that much then i say get it because i would. thats just me if i like something and i want it i am going to get it.
