And So It Begins (Part II)


So, to continue with the shitty month.. let's see, we left off with the throwing up at the bus stop...

Basically, the other most stressful thing this month happened last night...

Teresa has a tattoo. Well.. lemme start over. Teresa does ART and she does the thing well. She comes up with all these amazing characters and stories and such and yeah, she is really cool. Check it here. Anyways, she has one character that is the embodiment of her. It IS her. She's had it for about 5+ years and wanted to get a tattoo of this character. Not just A tattoo, her first tattoo. So she had her artist friend. who is also amazing and does really cool tatt designs. draw up a tattoo of this character. It turned out really awesome. This was two years ago. So now, two years later, Teresa has had the tattoo for about five months now and loves it. (It's so cool BTW).

Last night we come to find out that someone has seen the tattoo design and basically stolen it.

Here's how it worked. The friend that drew it, Holly, posted it on her deviantart acount (it's no longer there because of this bullshit). Teresa wanted people to see it so she was okay with that and Holly said it was her favorite design she has done, so she wanted to share it with people. Which it should be shared because it's amazing and it's ART on an ART site.

Anyways, so this guy apparently saw the tattoo design randomly (he doesn't know Holly or Teresa, he apparently just stumbled upon it) and decided he really liked it. Fine thats cool. It's a really nice design. But then he decided he liked it so much he wanted it tattooed on him. Even that's okay that he liked it that much. But he never asked, and apparently never read what the artist even said about it in the description. If he had, he would have seen the mass amount of the description that was devoted to saying it was Teresa's design, for her use only, don't use it. Plus, in most of the comments, people had said "hey this is cool. I want this tattoo." To which Teresa had said, "thanks for enjoying it, but don't get it tattooed since it's special to me and for me and IS me."

AND THEY WERE OK WITH THAT. Cuz most people are not "dickwads and morons" as my dad called this guy.

But oh no, this guy is too good to read what the artist of some art that he like SOOO much has to say about it.

So he fucking got TERESA'S Character tattooed to him. TERESA'S PERSONAL MEANING TATTOO is on someone else. What the fuck? That is like so beyond shitty.

It's fucking art theft to the max. This guy has Teresa's fucking symbol on him for life. He doesn't even know what it is for. He doesn't know what the meaning is. Although he said it had some special meaning for him, it really can't since Teresa came up with the character for herself and Holly drew it FOR TERESA.

So then, he decided it was high time to leave a comment on the design saying, "oh these drawings are so nice I got one tattooed on me." Basically, 'I stole your art, SEE??'

BUT OH NO, that's not the worst of it. Teresa, when she found out, was extremely upset and hurt. Understandable since it's basically stealing part of her identity through art. So she replied to this guy and told him how it made her fell. He basically went on to say he didn't really give a shit and was kind of glad that it made her so upset. He said since she got her her friends to "attack" him, he could care less. She never told anyone to go and bother this guy, she just said this is what happened and it fucking sucks and so does this guy.

He never apologized and never tried to fix it. Teresa and Holly both even said, "We will design something FOR YOU that has meaning FOR YOU" and Teresa even said that she would help pay to get it changed. But nope, this guy has decided to be a douche and not do anything.

But I guess as my dad put it, "he's now marked for life as a thief, an idiot, and a dickwad." And that no matter what, it's still special for Teresa and don't let anyone take that away.

I feel I left some stuff out and I probably did, but oh well, this shit sucks.

Hopefully next month will be better.

Oh, also his tattoo fucking sucked. It looked like shit and was a travesty of a tattoo. So even if it wasn't Teresa's I'd still be mad because he shit on the Mona Lisa. He fucked up beautiful art.
