Any idea why this is getting kicked out for IP violation?

This is getting rejected as an IP Refusal rather than, say, for quality issues. Just wondering if anyone has any insight.

    Hi ​@robertm49297337 

    The tattoos are the reason for the IP refusal.

    Could also have been rejected for quality issues - the teeth, the flawed eyeglasses over the bridge of the nose, the oddly out of focus areas...

    The Tattoo Issue for AI ImagesTattoos are treated as copyrighted artistic works (owned by the tattoo artist). Even in an AI-generated image:

    • If the tattoo looks distinctive, realistic, or like a real existing design, agencies may flag it as a potential IP infringement or require a property release from the (fictional or real) tattoo artist.
    • You can't easily get a signed property release from a tattoo artist for something the AI invented or approximated.
    • Many agencies require both model release (for the person) + property release (for the tattoo) for commercial use, just like with real photos.
