Everything is fair game for likeness contract & including tatoo.
The jury determined, opens new tab that Take-Two had an implied license to depict the tattoos based on its agreement to use James' likeness in the games and found that tattoo artist Jimmy Hayden's copyrights had not been infringed.

It's so strange. Pathetic really. You made 1 tattoo. You didn't write a book or something that can take years like code or hell, marble sculpture. I'd see a better argument for a sculpture that took 10 years of someone's life than a tattoo that took a few hours.

Tattoo artists are a special blend of retard because its so easy that basically anyone can do it if they practice it enough so there's a shitton of bluster and pretend.

Isn't that true for all art though? I don't have an artistic eye, but I assume if I sat down and practiced day after day I would be able to competently color inside the lines with my big boy crayons.

The rest of art isn't as explicitly easy like drawing the lines the impression paper left on someone's skin and then coloring it in, but yeah artists are cancer.

People in prison figure it out because they don't have paper but they do have skin to test it out on. That's the skill bar.

It's one thing to say you have copyright on the design so other tattoo artists can't just up and use it, and maybe even Bansky can't paint it on a wall, but a completely different thing to say that once it's on some nigger's ass you can never photograph it again without paying royalties.

(This would have been humorous to allow through, porn companies would shut down overnight because they couldn't track all their tatted up whores.)

Fruits, then dead pig skin, then the unfortunate souls who thought you were their friend, apparently.

Mind, I have no experience with tattoos whatsoever, so take this with as much salt as you will.

I briefly looked into how long it takes to "officially" learn to become a tattoo artist. It's months (covering hygiene, regulations, customer interaction, design, etc) and still that's mostly through Zoom courses. Who knew it'd take so little to be licensed to forever ruin someone's body?

I looked over James' tattoos quickly and yeah, none of those would require custom designs. Most are just text, which you can (and probably should) just type into a computer, spell-check, select a font, and print a stencil to trace over. The few "pictures" are all quite isolated, hardly designed to his body or with anatomy in mind - which means it could also quite easily be stencilled after running an image through a few filters or by taking something from any ready-to-ink design. Especially with AI art, there's no real need for most tattoo artists to develop any skills beyond holding the tattoo gun.

No idea why so many people who can afford better have ink on them that looks like it might as well be stickered on.

The lawsuit only concerns a tattoo of his mother's name "Gloria" in a swirly font and some stars.
Hardly the Sistene Chapel of stick-and-poke. Pretty sure I could learn to do that shit in a few hours' time. Dude should have just asked me - he really missed out on having a cute li'l hamster buddy for life.

Below is his most complex design (it's on his thigh) though this one's done by Vanessa Aurelia. Still looks too dark, and awkwardly placed like a clunky and oversized sticker. The font seems like a completely seperate thing altogether too. Guess it's true that money can't buy taste.

That's why I kinda liked that lawsuit though. Can't think of more efficient career suicide than being a "celebrity tattoo artist" letigious about claiming copyright over someone else's body.
