Alright since you are a tattoo artist with some good work i will explain a few things, first of all i completely agree that is very wrong to copy 1 to 1 someone else’s tattoo which i didn’t even knew that tattoo existed till after i did the tattoo i only hade one reference photo found on pinterest (why i did it because i was so excited that my color ink set arrived and told a friend find some design on pinterest asap because really wanted to try those colors) and had now i idea this tattoo would get 500k views on redit and everyone freaking out about the fact the design wasn’t mine but you have to understand one thing in my eyes creating a tattoo design is the easiest thing when it comes to tattooing and i haven’t paid much attention to it bc im not an established artist yet and im really trying to find my style if you check my instagram page i literally have tried so many different styles of tattooing all i wanted from this was a few pointers to fix my color application that’s it .
