The copyright owner is always the person who has drawn the original drawing. He can license it for different types of use, either for payment or free. So even with an original drawing, you cannot use it - for a tattoo or other use - without the express permission by the artist. This doesn't necessarily have to be in writing, but it is always a good idea to do so anyway. But neither the tattoo artist nor the tattooee will have any claims to the rights.

My tattoo was drawn by the tatooist. I included an internet picture as reference how I wanted it to look, but allowed the tattooist to draw something similiar in her own style. Thus the image copyright is with the tattooist, but licensed as wearable to me.
IMHO the tattoo turns out better if you just let the artist use their own style, having an internet picture painted on ones skin is just boring.

Awkward if visible in most job interviews... although an advantage in some perhaps.

In my reply above, I forgot to mention: If your tattoo says "Mom", then the copyright belongs to your mother no matter who the artist is!

 Quote: Me and my brother were talking to each other
'Bout what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn or the month you were born
We just couldn't understand
Our old man didn't like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair
So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed
Welcome to my life, tattoo
I'm a man now, thanks to you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die, tattoo
My dad beat me 'cause mine said, "Mother"
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude
Welcome to my life, tattoo
We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die, tattoo
Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty toot toot, rooty tooty toot toot
Rooty toot toot, tattoo too, to you
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I always understood that if it was the tattooist's design then they then owned the copyright you.

That's an interesting question, and it seems the law in this area (in the U.S.) is not very clearly defined: [^].

Nope. The copyright in an image/artwork is restricted to the image/artwork as it stands. As the tattoo artist is not copying the image in the sense of producing an identical work intended to pass off as the original but producing a new artwork representing aspects of it there is no requirement to obtain permission nor to provide a reference. This applies equally to art students sitting in a gallery drawing a copy of the latest Hockney or Charlie Hebdo cartoonists in their vile version of the drowned refugee. The most famous example in recent years has been Vettriano using images in an art tutorial book as his 'models' for some of his most popular works. References to original artists may be included as a courtesy, usually in the form 'after A. N. Artist' but there is no legal obligation.
V. wrote: The person drawing the tattoo, or the person wearing it?
The person wearing it. You buy the tattoo when it is applied in just the same way that you buy a painting at a gallery or commission a portrait.

Hi All,
My Win 10 PC decided to download some updates and the WiFi died on this PC. Bearing in mind the WiFi at my parents is so fragile it can be taken out with a poorly directed fart I began hunting why this was. Win 7 could connect to the web, curious, so there is a good valid Wi-Fi signal. Why does my Windows 10 box which is closer to the router not like it. A BT extender had to be used as the wall it goes through is load bearing. I found I could connect to the extender but that could not talk to the router, puzzeling. So I went ahead and tried everything I could, when grasping at straws I uninstalled Office 2007 and restarted the machine (I have Office XP & 2007 Installed) I have never used 2007 but restarted. Dang me, it works ( ), now do the naked happy dance and go to bed or reinstall 2007?

Absolutely!
YOu have to know if that is really what it was.
And if it was, then I'm sure it's because microsoft is attempted to convince you to upgrade your office.

Is there a way for me to see how many articles are waiting for moderation?
How many articles are in the moderation queue?
I'm just curious about how that all works.
Thanks,

If there are any articles waiting for moderation, there's a box "X items need approval" on the right side of the main page, below "Our Community".

Right, forgot to mention that. It's also available to Gold Editor and Organizer though.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.  I was curious if it took a special level to see that or not. Thanks for your time.

True, but raddevus is neither, so he wont see it.

I have just switched Broadband suppliers (eclipse to PlusNet) and the new service seems really fast. However, Gmail response times seem to have gone from milliseconds to seconds, just switching from one message to the next. Anyone else having similar issues?
