Here's a screen grab of the work they stole from artist Liz Mason. Most of the dot work on the right is Liz's, which they've claimed as their own. Once they were challenged by this they denied they had stolen anyone's work and told people to "grow up". Art theft is bad enough at the best of times but when it's crooks like God's Of Ink doing the thieving it's amplified by a hundred.

Why I've set up this, seemingly, random tumblr account.

Hi everyone. Thanks for stopping by. You probably found this page when searching for God's of Ink, and I hope this will be the last place you look.

You see, God's of Ink are crooks, thieves and bullies.

Recently, God's of Ink Hereford were called out for using images of drawings and tattoos pulled off Google, uploading them to Facebook, and claiming them as their own. Not only were they using pretty famous pieces by well known artists (smart move guys...) but, perhaps even more shockingly, they were using the images of an artist local to them. The local community found out and asked GOI to take the images down. Their response? "We haven't stolen other peoples work". Even in the face of cold hard evidence they were trying to deny this. Unbelievable.

So, we "the people" rallied round and bombarded their page with yet more requests to take down the images and people also started to leave them bad reviews on their page. Eventually they realised they could make these reviews private but luckily I and a few others managed to screen grab some offending crap they responded with. I wish I'd gotten more but I honestly thought they were too stupid to set their reviews to private.

Subsequent to this, I have it on good authority that GOI starting to threaten other studios in the surrounding area with "the outlaws".... haha. Brilliant. They're TOO ridiculous.

If you'd like me to publish any of your stories or experiences with GOI then please feel free to message me. I'm on a mission to wise people up to these clowns. I have many, MANY stories of my own to share but I will leave it with this; God's Of Ink are fraudsters. They are not true tattoo artists. Their work is unthinkably bad. They're bullies. DO NOT GO TO GOI. RESEARCH YOUR ARTISTS! I BEG YOU!

PLEASE think twice before you get tattooed at any of the God's of Ink studios. They're art thieves and crooks!
