I'm wanting to cover up a tattoo that I've got on my left shoulder/upper arm. I'd like to use something similar to the wreckage tattoo found in-game but I'm not sure if copying it directly would get me in trouble or if I could even find a quality image of it that isn't distorted. Any info/help with the part about getting in trouble for using it or anyone with a quality link to the image would be GREATLY appreciated!

This shouldn't be an issue lots of people have EVE tattoos.

I can't see there being any issue with you using something like that as a tattoo - then again CCP might be nuts and sue for your arm to be removed.

I'm not sure about the copyright, but I don't really think it will be a problem.

But, I do have the images. Well, I have the uncoloured 'Wreckage' image for you.
Here it is:

There are a few others, like Nature, Prototype, and Drone. I can get these for you if you want.
There are coloured versions of these as well, but they don't come with the background effect.

You and your tattooist will have to figure out how it warps around your arm.

If you need any of the others, I have them ready to upload.
Good luck!

Technically CCP might own your arm when you're done.

Thanks for all the responses and the image!

You know.. if they take the arm.... will it be replaced with their cybernetic one?

If you are not using this reproduced image for profit of money $$$$$$ money (see) you can use it - if you use it for purposes the owner sees as negative in some way; promoting sinful or illegal behavior, endorsing this week's pariah, you can then be SUED. You cannot be SUED for money if you made no money from the use. However, they can try to force you to have the image reMOVED. A judge would then decide who's right and who's RIGHT. If a judge decides your rights don't extend THAT far, then yes, he can order a removal. If it's something painted on a garage door for instance, not much of a problem there. HOWEVER...yeah, on your arm? Might sting a bit.

The right to free speech doesn't automatically carry with it the right to be taken seriously.

The thought of a judge of any kind ordering someone to have a tattoo removed is laughable.

Tattoo whatever you like on yourself, screw the owner.

The comments here made me laugh, lol, thanks!

And yea, don't think it should be an issue, I seen people with Eve tattoos and they look pretty cool actually. I'm too much of a wimp to get one tho, even though I would like to get one myself, lol. I hate needles.
