Ezgi had invited me to join tattoo artist support groups chat

“You’re tattoo artist so it’s yours drawing, it’s your work and it always will be your work”

“I covered in tattoos and when people say “I love your tattoos” so they’re not mine, are they actually, they’re someone else’s. I picked them because I like them because the other person created them”

“They’re mine because they’re on me but they’re not my design… I don’t own that at all. I have them but I don’t own them”

Later they replied “will do in a sec” but they never get back to me….

“I believe that every design or illustration that goes on Social Media account it’s a part of every one else, everyone can claims or do or make use of it”

“I was kind of sad because she didn’t ask me before doing it. It happened before and it will happen again”

How can emerging artists, especially tattoo artists protect their work in a way that will encourage clients to choose the original artist and not someone copying the work, of the flash in the case of tattoo artist?

Problem – artist doesn’t have ability to be able to get their work out to the public

“How can emerging tattoo artists protect their work in a way that will encourage clients
to choose the original artist and
not someone copying the work?’’

• Crypto art is digital art that is treated like physical art due to the ability to have verified ownership of the piece.  Just like an original painting signed by Picasso can have its authenticity and ownership authenticated, crypto art can be verified in the same way using an NFT or a non-fungible token.  An NFT is a special token that represents a unique ID that is linked to a piece of crypto art that cannot be replicated and is used to verify ownership of a piece. You can attach it to anything: a JPEG, GIF, MP4, even music. This token that proves ownership of the ‘original’ file is stored on the Blockchain which is a permanent ledger that can be accessed from any computer over the world.

I took from my box of uncertainties my chain which push me to explore the NFT and crypto art space.

This exciting new technological iteration of creative output.

I hope could present and opportunities to protect work and thereby encourage emerging artist also facilitating a healthy collectors market generally.

However, the NFT space has almost instantly been taken advantage of by speculators and reduced to just an entertainment form for wealthy individual to amuse themselves completing to see who can waste the most money on digital art.

Worst still, people with no principle are simply taking artist work and creating their own NFT thereby defeating the entire object of the exercise.

I realise therefore to achieve the change I want I need to approach it differently.

I am still hopeful about the potential for NFT and crypto art, but I realise I need to look for more alternatives to achieve the change I want. And I have been conceptualising safe spaces, and re-education for creatives on these issues, and some other ideas.

Where is the limit of copying?

There is no original design?

Why should you respect the process?

Will you value something that you can’t see?

Do art speaks?

Is buying a tattoo mean buying experience?

Clients get involve in this process of art (tattoo) ?
