I'm sorry, but it should be on the player if they want their tattoos in the game or not. They already paid the tattoo artist for them, and most of theirs are custom to that athlete
Well you know what they say about when you assume

Heitner said it is assumed that, without waivers, the tattoo artist is the owner of the work even if it is put on an athlete's body.

The players bought the tattoos, so therefore they own them and the rights to them I would think.
Tattoo artists just trying to get a cut.

Sounds like NFL/EA got on top of this early. Take Two and the NBA should of did the same...

So so retarded. It's why Madden only had like 3 people with tattoos on their game. I hope 2k says frick em.

Good. Now get rid of that trashy/racist arse franchise. White created character with a twin black sister and the accent.

So basically the tattoo artist are treating the tattoo's like software licensing. The athletes only pay for the right to have the tattoo put on their body, they don't actually own the IP. There is no way this holds up in court.
