what is your policy on people wanting to get your work tattooed on them? if they get your permission? would they have to buy the piece of art and then do it?
Hi anon,
It’s good that you asked. In the past I’ve always said yes if someone wants a tattoo of my existing artwork and they have asked permission to do so. I think it’s polite to ask. There are only very few reasons why I might decline, like if the picture in question was a private commission and therefore it’d be nice to confirm how the commissioner feels about it.
I don’t charge anything from people who want to use something I posted on the internet as a tattoo design :) it will happen anyway sometimes, but I do feel artists deserve the basic respect of being asked first. So no other obligations afterwards.
I am available for tattoo commission inquiries too, if someone wants to support me and get a custom design from me though.
