Flo Ania Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've just seen an article about the Hellfest guys (french metal etc festival), and the main guy Ben Barbaud has the SAME tattoo than me! Makes me mad! On his hand, like me, same colors etc...I got mine done by Rudy Fritsch in 2012 at the London Tattoo Convention... And here's mine, the original by Rudy Fritsch : Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6348-tattoo-copycat/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryQ Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 That's irritating, no doubt. Great looking tattoo though.

See my point? Do you know who did his work? Was it the same guy? I'd be pissed if so, but I'm pretty sure I've seen the design or something similar in the past. BTW, I love it, it's a lovely design and I wouldn't worry to much about it.

Pretty 100% sure that it's not the same guy ahah I mean it's not flash from the wall, I'm not saying you cannot ask for black cloud with an eye on your hand, but here it's the exact same design, a copy!

xcom Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Damn, That is a straight up copy, like it was flash. Sorry bro... Though it comes with the territory of posting your pieces online, same for the artists... I see it all the time on IG original artist riping copy cats apart, one example that comes to mind right away is Cassady Bell Who is having the same issue, though he now deleted his post.

Nowhere I wrote I like my tattoo any less...I know it's still a cool tattoo:) It's just weird when someone copied the one you got from a great tattoo artist, put it in the exact the same spot as you with the same colors etc...

OutOfIdeas Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I think it's wierd, and disrespectful. Wouldn't put me off my own tattoo, but i can see where you're coming from. It's also (IMO) laziness on the part of the copycat artist and i would understand the original artist being upset. xcom and Flo Ania 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6348-tattoo-copycat/#findComment-116364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAllen Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 You got tattooed by rudy, that's all that matters. Your tattoo is just a souvenir of a excellent life experience. That cannot be copied.

bongsau Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I guess this a thing to be mindful of whenever uploading our pics to IG, FB or even LST. Because eventually those tattoo photos you had the courtesy to share with the internet may end up on the websites like Pinterest, Shock Mansion, tumblr, buzzfeed and many other clickbait sites that do NOT credit the artist, collector or source. I wouldn't get too worked up. Your tattoo has slightly better placement on the hand and looks like a cleaner execution, not to mention it was made by a world-class tattooer. The other guy, well he's a hard looking hoodie metalhead who wasn't original enough to get his own thunderstorm. Don't let him rain on your parade!
