Okay, I’m pissed. The above photos are pictures I took of the portfolio book in All Pro Custom Tattoo in Davenport, IA. So the above are two different owl tattoos inked onto two different people as done by All Pro Custom Tattoo. As you can see All Pro Custom Tattoo copied Jeff Gogue’s owl tattoo  not once, but TWICE. Two times they copied a custom tattoo and shittily traced and carved it into two different people.

Not only that, but the rest of their portfolio was full of other copied images made into tattoos, clip art, and crappy lettering. Stealing original custom tattoo artwork is preposterous and unethical, and beyond ironic since the shop’s very name is “All Pro Custom Tattoo”. Pros make only custom tattoos, and not a single tattoo in those portfolio books at All Pro was custom. Disgraceful.

More of their tattoo work is shown below:

Some perpetually surprised tattooed eyebrows.

All custom? Google says this is clip art.

The above tattoo is a copy of a drawing that’s a trace of another drawing.

All original.

You really shouldn’t be reposting other people’s artwork without crediting the original artist. It’s rude and unethical. The artist is 非, and his Tumblr is here: http://xhxix.tumblr.com/

By not crediting the artist you are committing art theft by breaking the International Copyright Act.
