The news hit Ben like a physical blow. His delicate linework, depicting the cycle of life, was now permanently emblazoned on the arm of a famous pop star. The pop star had shared it on social media, tagged the tattoo artist. The artist's work had been shared with millions.

Ben felt a familiar pressure in his chest, a sensation of being both violated and completely overlooked. His work was for those who cared, who *understood* his passion. The pop star did not.

He would not be silenced. He gathered the evidence, and sought legal counsel, his jaw set.
He would fight this.
He had to.
