Mrthe,
Wow - truely wild and an honor! My youngest is a tattoo artist, but being a true artist, he has never even though of looking at anything I've designed for reference.

[mrthe]

That's pretty amazing Paolo! It certainly shows his love of your work!

That is quite the complement to have him love your artwork enough to have it permanently placed on his body. I guess you also get a walking advertisement for your work, as long as he doesn't want to charge you any advertising fees.

Well... it's done. You are not gonna get it undone.

So maybe it would be best to make the most of it?

Contact both of them, ask them to acknowledge that you did the original - that's about the best you can hope for.

Combat never solves anything. I've had pieces copied. My solution was to keep them off the Internet.

In your case you can't. That's how you sell them.
