A little while back, Rasheed Wallace ran into controversy when Nike showed off his tattoo's in one of it's ad campaign featuring the NBA star. The problem lay with the designer of the tattoo who sued contesting that he was not properly compensated.Now it seems another sports star has fallen into the trap of not owning his body. The tattoo artist who designed the cross on the back of David Beckham's neck is threatening to sue if Beckham goes ahead with plans to use the images of the tattoo in an ad campaign.
So besides being painful to get a tattoo and even more painful to get them off, if you do decide to keep them -- somebody else owns the images of your body and can sue you if you would like to show it off. No thank you, tattoo guy.
