CountGrishnakh Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I hate to stir up shit, but theres a theif out there who really needs calling out.. Sue Jeiven of East River Tattoo in Brooklyn is blatantly stealing other tattooers work & trying to pass it off as her own.. The first photo was stolen from Jon Larson. Designs from Adam Shrewsberry & Robert Ryan have been taken. This hoe even ripped off KOH... which is why i feel the need to post this here & encourage all of my fellow oontzers to call this shop and harass this theif bitch.

seeking Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 were the images stolen from tattoos, or from flash? as sheisty as it might be, once you put out a set of flash you're opening yourself up for being copied. not that i agree, just saying its gonna happen.

wonkerock Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 were the images stolen from tattoos, or from flash? as sheisty as it might be, once you put out a set of flash you're opening yourself up for being copied. not that i agree, just saying its gonna happen. I usually lurk in here, but this seems to be an interesting topic of discussion. To copy or use work in an UNCHANGED state is obviously not acceptable in any artistic medium, however that being said, to APPROPRIATE a design, which implies that concepts or imagery has been ADOPTED and represented in a changed and original state seems to be fairly commonplace - especially amongst tattoo culture and history. I have seen COUNTLESS designs redone and revamped by different artists OVER AND OVER, which draws upon the whole TRADITION of tattooing. The real challenge is to represent a historic concept or design in a RESPECTFULLY NEW and ORIGINAL style while maintaining consistency with tradition. ANYWAYS, if you've got a half a brain about you it shouldn't be too hard to tell a crappy knock off from an original. meh, my two cents.

King Of Hell Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 In a case such as this where the person can't even make a simple clean design she is clearly tracing shit off the net and trying to make her name on it. The owl of mine that she used isn't flash. It was a tattoo that I did on one of this forum's members as a matter of fact. The other stuff of mine that was used was from one painting that I made for another tattooer that while in flash form, was a one shot painting. No prints. So she traced it and added it to her sheets. These are all in a book that she was selling in Philly. Making her name off designs that obviously aren't hers. Tattooing DOES have a history of reinterpretation and appropriation, but there are lines. When I design flash for sale I don't care who tattoos it as long as it was bought from me and you aren't telling anyone that you drew it up. When it hangs in your shop or sits in your flash racks or book, my name is still on it. No problems at all. Go for it. When you use it instead of drawing something because you're lazy and then tell someone it's yours that's bullshit. Also, when people are tracing tattoos right off the net and passing them off to the unaware masses as their "clever" designs it's bullshit. And I completely understand, once you put it out there, it's liable to get lifted, but does that mean that opinions on such behavior can't be voiced and standards shouldn't be set against such behavior? Absolutely not. People need to say shit to suckers. Tattooers seem to forget that yeah there.s a big tradition of lifting designs and whatnot, but there's also a tradition of protecting what's yours. Either by booby trapping it, making sure your name is ALWAYS attached to it, or by keeping it off radar. In this economy I'd love to be the off the radar guy. Just can't make it work, and if I'm spending the amount of time drawing, researching, reading, collection references, and building a stylistic vocabulary that is at least a little my own, then yes, I should be protective of it. There's also the thing where tracing, and repainting flash by long gone, or otherwise retired old timers is different than repainting and then SELLING under your own name a bunch of shit being done by today's current people. Shit's gonna happen, people are lazy, everyone LOVES to say there's nothing new under the sun, but it doesn't make it right or true. Chick is a thief. Ain't nothing on those sheets hers and a huge amount is from current people tattoos. Not even flash. She was at our booth in Philly this weekend. She didn't even buy my set after selling her book with my shit in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing i would like to say that, be careful when choosing your tattoo design, remember that tattoo will be with you for the rest of your life, you should make the right one that perfectly suits you.
