pingo Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 From GW's IP policy: ... we cannot allow tattoos as an acceptable use of our IP as a third party necessarily has to perform the "service" I'm afraid you guys are going to have to relinquish your arms :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tattooist could get in trouble, as the GW policy quote indicates, but having one isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlight Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'd be surprised if GW did anything, considering they are getting free advertising out of the deal... Then again I've been wrong before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingo Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 It's like conversions. Its technically a violation of IP, but GW aren't exactly going to come and laser it off :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its technically a violation of IP, but GW aren't exactly going to come and laser it off :lol: Conversions aren't a violation of anything, that's just dumb. And again, having a trademark as a tattoo isn't infringement. The protection is not the actual mark/logo/characteristic, but its use in identifying the business or person that is offering goods or services for sale.

musliisafish Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Nice work on the tattoo, and the one on that guys back is simply AMAZING! And I daresay, some of my favourite GW artwork. I wonder if GW could give me <_< for the guitar I intend to have built then paint... I am intending on painting a chaos/mechanicus symbol over the body and pickup casings :angry:. In any case, doubt that they will do anything about any of this to be perfectly honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually: Conversions are a major aspect of the hobby, although in intellectual property terms, they also constitute a major infringement. However, we are certainly not about to stop people making cool conversions of our products ... I guess it's just an odd result of IP law. And I wasn't being serious about GW coming and removing their arms ... <_< Anyway, this is off topic: apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 all he has to do is get the 'tm' tattooed on the top corner and GW will be happy :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorisBC Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 man this has just given me the coolest idea for another tatt! A purity seal with my wife's initials in the seal, and my kid's names on the paper.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW is notorious for ridiculous IP 'enforcement' things like spamming C&Ds to people because often times the threat of a suit alone is enough to get anyone to stop doing anything even if it is perfectly legal. Once you purchase a product you are free to do anything you wish with it, including *gasp* reselling it or even mutilating, converting, changing or defacing it in any way.
