Tattoo Theft! Serious business..

[verygwen]

stargazer83 got a tattoo based on artwork by Chris Buzelli. She posted her tattoo online and then was stunned that plainjane11 had the nerve to "steal" her original tattoo design! Oh noes! She cross posts about this heinous theft here and here. Because god forbid someone else get a tattoo based on the same craptastic artwork you got a tattoo based on

I don't see the stupid at all. I also highly doubt that the girl who stole it even knows who the original artist is. That girl definitely has a right to be pissed, hopefully she feels better knowing that plainjane11's tattoo sucks balls.

Considering stargazer mentioned the artist's name in the post the other person "stole" the idea from, seems likely that the "thief" does know the artist.

No, I know that. And plainjane's looks more like the original than stargazers. My point is she only heard about the artist through stargazer and loved the tattoo and got it done. It's also pretty "wtf" because plainjane didn't post her tattoo in any of the communities stargazer was in and when stargazer found out and called her out on it, she deleted her post.

If you don't think there's anything wrong with "stealing" someone's tattoo idea, why are you gonna try to hide it so much? She easily could have said "It's no big deal! Tons of people have the same tattoo!" She knows it's wrong too.

I just think it's funny that Stargazer thinks she's oh-so-original for getting somebody else's artwork tattooed on her body, as if nobody else on the planet had that idea.

Even if plainjane did blatantly rip off "her idea", she has to get the stick out of her ass and realize that she is not a special, unique snowflake and neither is her tattoo.

It might be different if it was a drawing she created, but I have no sympathy for people who steal something and then whine about thieves.

Fucking a-men.

Plus I think plainjane's looks better. The complaining girl's might not be finished yet, but it looks like it was done in a 3rd rate studio.

I agree with you here. And honestly if I was stargazer I probably would've been annoyed at the fact that if it wasn't for me posting my tattoo on the internet plainjane wouldn't have gotten that tattoo. But at the same time, it would've ended there and I wouldn't be freaking out and posting about it everywhere.

Yep. If you don't want something copied, don't put it on the internet where everybody with a computer and phone line can see it.

Like I said, I'd definitely feel for her a bit if it was truly original art, thought up and drawn up by her or her friend.
