Out of these taboos, I can think of none more frowned upon than tattoo copying. While it may seem like a minor offence, tattoo copying is a very harmful practice that impacts everyone involved in the process, from the original artist, their client, copying artist, and their client. But, unlike these other art styles, the copyright laws against tattoo copying are very lax, leaving us to fend for ourselves. As I mentioned before, copyright laws against tattoo copying are still lax. Due to this, tattoo artists must abide by their own morals and not partake in tattoo copying, while clients should do their best to deter their tattoo artists from copying another artist’s work.
