Copyright images are always tattooed on people. You’re not making money by recreating the image. That’s like me drawing a label and getting sued for it. It’s fine. If you want, ask your artist. He’d be the one making money off of the picture, not you. That means if there are any problems with it, it’s his deal, not your’s. So… let the artist worry about it but definitely bring it up.
to be honest what would anyone do about it. I can just imagine the conversation now
“The hon judge Gobelcoque presiding finds you guilty of copyright infringment. You will need to remove it”
“it doesnt come off”
“what not at all?”
“no”
“have you tried an eraser?”
“dont be a dick”
“sorry”
Not to he disrespectful, it’s kinda a silly a thing to worry about. As someone up thread said, it’s not like they’re ever going to find out, and honestly, they’d wouldn’t even give a damn. I wouldn’t bring it up with your artist man, because he’s gonna look at you like you’re an idiot. It’s good to be conscientious about others’ intellectual property, but this is really a nonissue.

hahaha i say exactly this all the time. im in the marines and they came out with a rule saying no more tattoos that can be seen in a short sleeve shirt and shorts. and that was my exact response, “what are they gunna do? tell me to erase it?” hahahahaha
i don’t think anyone is going to be butt-hurt over someone using their image for a tattoo, especially from a company, game, team, etc. from my experience they love it! some companies pay people to get their logos tattooed on them.
my boyfriend has a Lion King sleeve, and i’m sure disney aren’t going to come after him because whoever asks, “hey what’s that of?”, “oh it’s the Lion King, one of my favourite movies.” and voila! free publicity.
I remember reading a supreme court breif in lawschool regarding an artistic recreation of a cambell’s soup can from the 50’s-60’s. The supreme court declared that an artistic rendering of copyrighted material is not protected under copyright law, as limiting art is clearly protected speech. If you would like to know the specifics just google it. Given that tattooes are an artform the same legal precident should apply. Hope this helps:D
