Normally you should include a reference, right?


Nope. The copyright in an image/artwork is restricted to the image/artwork as it stands. As the tattoo artist is not copying the image in the sense of producing an identical work intended to pass off as the original but producing a new artwork representing aspects of it there is no requirement to obtain permission nor to provide a reference. This applies equally to art students sitting in a gallery drawing a copy of the latest Hockney or Charlie Hebdo cartoonists in their vile version of the drowned refugee. The most famous example in recent years has been Vettriano using images in an art tutorial book as his 'models' for some of his most popular works. References to original artists may be included as a courtesy, usually in the form 'after A. N. Artist' but there is no legal obligation.
