Tattoo artists take note! You have a new potential income stream: lawsuits. Or at least that’s the take-away AdFreak has gotten from the suit filed earlier this week by Matthew Reed, a Portland, Oreg. tattoo artist, who is suing Nike, the Detroit Pistons’ Rasheed Wallace, and agency Weiden [sic] + Kennedy, according to these court documents. Reed created an Egyptian-style tattoo (at left) for Wallace—when he was a Portland Trailblazer—that later was prominently featured in a Nike ad.
Reed claims the focus on Wallace’s tattoo in the ad constitutes copyright infringement.
