Hellfire Tribute Patch

ok guys, i will not decieve an change any artwork on a tatt, as that is the artist an owners proud single piece of art they own. It is not so easy to do this as you still chance infringement rights, if the original designer ever sees it, yes i can get them made, no problem, we would have them in about a month, but we will have to take kellys design an totally redo things on it around an use some color changes, i cant get disbarred over a simple thing as a signature! Im going on an order 5 of the other patches till we decide on if we want to really change the design kelly was so proud of or just get a little paperwork done an honor him as it should be? Just sayin, let me know what yall decide, im with ya!

We don't want to see you get in trouble .
that being said I really don't want to change kellys tattoo design either .
I say lets let skip do them and and be true to the original design .
theres to much paperwork in this word already its not like a million of them will be made we didn't get Triumphs permission for the rings and we used there logo .

I am in, and I will contribute a extra 20 to help cover the initial costs.


There are no copyright issues with a patch of this tattoo. The tattoo itself contains copyrighted logos, and the artist would be a fool to take it to court. I can't imagine seeing the jury's reaction to a person suing over a patch that was made to commemorate someone who passed, that was done on a very small volume/minimal to no profit. All well the person themselves did the same thing by taking money to tattoo a copyrighted logo on someone.
 
I don't think the tat artist was concerned with the copyright infringement when he did the Triumph logo:confused: That is who I would be afraid of, the company that has attorneys employed full time.

Plus he would have it copyrighted, not a patented, right???


It would be copyrighted. Tattooists do this every day. Seen it hundreds of times. Done it myself. Everyone borrows from everyone else. Some "borrow" exactly, despite copyright risks. Of course, tats are one thing...not heavily pursued by lawyers typically...and patches, printing, reproduced articles, are quite another horse. The design would need significant rearrangement, at least the Triumph part would. The rest is artistic license.
