An Unfortunate, yet Required Page.
Welcome to the report page! The art industry is very fun, but also very problematic. Theft runs rampant, copyright literacy is low, and there is a lack of comradery. With that said, upon requests from my supporters, I’ve created a form where you can report cases that may involve unauthorised use of my art!
The report form can be completed anonymously. Regardless if you provide your information or not, your report will not be disclosed to anyone in any scenario. All cases reported will be investigated to see if there if my art is clearly in use.
Just because a design may look similar to mine is not a good enough reason to pursue a case. Reposts, copies, traces, and impersonation are the big four things I pursue. If it’s evident that my art is being used, my team or I will reach out to the party privately.
In cases where individuals wish not to to be reasonable, or if an artist acts in a very dishonourable way, they may be added them to the list page. Again, it was based upon requests from my supporters (mainly those new to the tattooing and commissioning world) that frequently asked if there are people or places I wouldn’t personally recommend to work with.
If you’d like to get a bit more insight on my thoughts behind defending art, I’ve unfortunately already made a public post addressing a certain case. You can read an extract of that post here, and I’ve answered some questions related to the use of my art on my FAQ page.
