to those who do that whole "art" thing

I decided this wasn't more suited for fan sub since it's a general question for anyone who does any art at all..

Suppose that you were a pretty prominant artist with a large-ish website, sold a few prints now and then and were generally well respected for your craft. One day, someone who you don't know all too well but has generally been a good person tells you that they really love <x piece of art> and would like your permission to get it as a tattoo. It wouldn't be anywhere obscene - just a tattoo on their shoulder..

.. how do you feel about this? heh

I'll show you motherfuckers a slice of my art!

I've got your art right here in my pants

.. but seriously

No way. If the art was meant to be a tatoo, maybe. But do not disturb the art's integrity!

i'd be honored if someone would want a piece of my art collection forever embedded on their body...

is he/she willing to pay for it? (not the tattooo, but for your permission to use it)

I had a friend use some work of mine back in high school. I thought it was a great compliment. Seeing my work permanently branded on someone was a bit of a different experience than I was used to, but in a good surreal sort of way.

The only reservations I felt were connected to the fact that I didn't physically tattoo the art onto him myself.

I’d say yes, then force them to sport the URL as well.

Really, I’d be honored. I don’t see what you have to lose. If anything they’ll tell people where the work is from and you’ll get more traffic.

a friend of mine asked me and i said "go ahead!" .. it went fine. it was a large cybernetic rabbit with a chain gun. she got it put on her hip... right hand side i think.

i took it as flattering more than anything. she asked me to design some more but i haven't gotten around to it.

I really don't see why it would be a big deal to you?

it isn't a big dela to ME, I'm the one who wants the tattoo.. I'm just afraid to ask, and I won't do it without permission

I'll ask for you, if you want. *pat pat*

I'm actually considering someone designing a a tattoo for me because I like her work so much. At least it'd be unique.
