What Happened to all the Great Tattoo Designs that were on the site!

I received an email from a tattoo copyright organization representing various tattoo artists. It detailed ways the the tattoo designs on the site could infringe on tattoo artists copyrights even though the person they were purchased from conveyed the rights to display the designs. It seems they didn't have the original rights to the designs and therefore, couldn't give them to us...bummer.

I have the greatest respect for all artists and immediately took down any design work that hadn't been created in-house. (Also, not worth getting sued!) The links to the design pages has also been eliminated from the site and the Ebook Living site.

We left up all the pictures, as they had been obtained from friends, friends of friends and family and since they were taken specifically for our sites, we were sure that we had the rights to display them.

If we took your picture, and you don't want it displayed, contact us. We are more than willing to pull your picture(s).

If you are an artist, and think your design is being used on our site without your permission, again, contact us. The last thing we want to do is infringe on your copyright. We hate it when it happens to us and don't want to do it to you. (Also, have we mentioned the "don't want to get sued" part.)

Note: We've slowly start putting designs on the site that are original and that we are sure of the copyright. Negotiating for a tatto design library. Stay tuned.
