: ST18102013-1329163003/Aziz/Lim Yan Liang/An ongoing spat between a Singaporean and a KL tattoo artist over the copying of an original ribbon tattoo has sparked a discussion over copyright law. Lawyers said that the law allows for the tattoo artist, Mr Moon Pang, to take legal action against KL-based Kinki Ryusaki, but that individuals seldom do so because of the legal costs.
IS a tattoo design an original work of art that should not be copied? That has been the subject of an ongoing spat between a tattoo artist in the city-state and one in Kuala Lumpur, with lawyers weighing in to say it might well be a question of copyright.
It was in June last year that teacher Shan Ho, 25, got Singapore tattooist Moon Pang to put an original design of a lacy black bow on her back.
