The tattoo studio «Alliance» respects intellectual property and complies with Ukrainian legislation, in particular the Law on Copyright and Related Rights and the Law on Information. Our website tattookiev.org is dedicated to the development of tattoo art, techniques, care, and cultural aspects. We create content together with masters who have over 5 years of experience, while the studio has been operating for more than 10 years.
The works of our masters are presented in the «Portfolio» and on Instagram, but for informational articles on tattoo styles or meanings, our masters’ portfolio is not sufficient, so we add images from open sources such as Pinterest, Google Images, or free image distribution resources (Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, various forums and social networks), avoiding protected content without the author’s consent. We check the origin and, whenever possible, obtain permission, but sometimes it is difficult to identify the owner due to the specifics of platforms where content is freely distributed. If you are the author, owner, or tattoo artist and object to publication, use the procedure below—we will respond promptly.
Procedure for Submitting a Removal Request
The tattoo studio «Alliance» aims for ethical use of materials and responds to rights holders’ notifications in accordance with Ukrainian legislation. If you find an image on our website (for example, a tattoo design photo) to which you hold copyright, and you are against its publication, please contact us via chat or Telegram (link on this page or in the «Contacts» section).
Within 3 days of your request, the administrator will review it and resolve the situation by removing the material. This demonstrates our authoritativeness and trustworthiness as a professional establishment that respects intellectual property.
Requirements for Proof of Authorship
The request must be accompanied by evidence confirming your copyright, such as:
- Documents: Certificate of copyright registration, original files with metadata.
- Other methods: Links to prior publication of the work on your social media pages (e.g., Instagram or Facebook) with a date preceding our publication.
If the necessary evidence is not provided, we will not be able to verify authorship and accommodate your request. This is a standard procedure to protect against wrongful claims.
Our Responsibility and Recommendations
We are not responsible for content from open sources, but strive for ethical use. Removal of material does not constitute an acknowledgment of infringement.
If you are an author (rights holder or tattoo master) and publish your works publicly but wish to prevent their copying or distribution without your consent, we recommend marking images with watermarks, contact information, and registering your copyrights. This will help reliably protect your intellectual property and allow us to quickly contact you to discuss permission for publication.
The provided information will be used solely for reviewing the request in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
For contact, you can write in the chat on the website or in Telegram.
Sincerely, Website Administration tattookiev.org
