Can I have a Froud artwork created into a tattoo?

    We love seeing Froud tattoos, especially when you submit them as a Froudian tattoo! We also love seeing the creativity the tattoo artist brings to a piece of Froud artwork! However, we now require that the tattoo artist gives you their design (if drawn beforehand) when your tattoo is finished. This is just to be sure that the tattoo artist does not begin selling Froud artwork as their own design as this would fall under commercial usage.

    Please note, if you are a tattoo artist you are not allowed to sell or provide Froud artwork amongst your available designs as this is breaking Froud copyrights.
