Should I ask the artist?

Sid

There’s a local artist near the town I live in and I LOVE their work but I don’t know them personally. I follow them on Instagram and that’s about it 😂 they have this piece of art that I am obsessed with and I want it tattooed on me.

Do I need to ask them permission to get it tattooed or can i just go ahead and do it and then like tag them in it once i get it?

And another thing. I know how tattoo artists don’t typically like doing other people’s art that much.. do you think there’s going to be an artist willing to do the tattoo? Or would most artists be upset by it?
