BOOTLEG MB Original

Scratcher: a person who finds a way to buy a "tattoo kit" and begins trying to tattoo people without any health training or professional tattoo training...they are not safe and usally just copy other peoples art for money. Since they have no training the work leaks quality and may cause the person major problems later.

I was on facebook this morning and someone tagged me in a photo... When I saw the pic it was a bootleg version of one of my drawings from 2005 turned into a VERY WACK tattoo...I don't understand why this person went to a scratcher... If they were a fan of my art then they should've known how I feel scratchers and bootleg art....I wouldn't mind if a professional tattooist use my art are tattoos as long as I'm given credit for my work art but this tattoo is 100% low in quality....whoever did this so-called "tattoo" didn't do justice to my artwork and it's a disappointment.... But I don't feel sorry for the person who let them put this bootleg trash on them... We have to love ourselves more....this is your skin! Invest in your body you only have one of them...


The drawing I did in 2005... It was actually a tattoo design for a client I lose in touch with when I moved shop locations


Here is the bootleg tattoo.. They tried to copy the style but wasn't trained so they fell short on linework, shading, color, & quality... I just hope this young lady is safe now and didn't catch anything from a unsafe untrained scratcher with no respect for professional tattooing
