If Anyone Was Interested...

I have deleted all of my tattoo flash from my gallery. I have seen that some people were using my tattoos without permission and I've decided I've had enough.
I began uploading my stuff because I wanted feedback and even though I appreciate the fact that people liked my designs enough to WANT to get them tattooed, I still don't appreciate people using them without my knowledge or reference. Especially, one tattoo in particular, that I designed specifically for a friend so he could have his own custom design that a few people decided to have tattooed, making the design for him not as special.
I firmly believe that if you are going to get a tattoo, it's best to have it custom, that way it means something to you. I don't know how many times I've seen people go into tattoo shops and pick the same design 1000 other people have. How can that mean anything?
I am fully aware that when you place your art on the internet that it's at your own risk, but I figured at least in a community of artists, I would have received SOME respect.
Ok, enough of my rant. I am still willing to design tattoos for commissions. If anyone is interested, please contact me.
