I compared the three images and they all have minor differences ie. they're not line for line copies. Its merely a use of geometry + diamond shape, where the geometry makes sense because of how it applies to a RL diamond, and like the old SGI logo it tries to create a 3D effect. There's just not much special about this tattoo (e.g. basic shape, small one instead of large one). It is therefore a terrible example. I'd say the same with the mountains. People think they're super original, and then it turns out they weren't. Cause, surprise surprise, there's a lot of people on the planet, wearing a lot of tattoo's, and the digital era makes it easier for these to be copied and found (searching/finding a copy of the tattoo).
Furthermore, it isn't like its copy/pasted. There's real labor involved in making the tattoo, often an example is used. Why can't an existing tattoo be used for such? Well, why not indeed. A tattoo artist wants a satisfied customer, to keep their name, good for business, customer wants therefore best result, etc etc.
When GW2 was released, a developer revealed their gigantic tattoo on their back with the logo, a large two in the form of a dragon, covering their whole back. I thought it was really cool, and wondered about copy cats but because it was so huge I didn't expect that to happen (don't think it did).
Recently I learned tattoo's don't allow you to sweat well, and whenever I see football (soccer) players with a lot of tattoo's I can't help but chuckle (I suppose you can apply this to all physical sports though I'd love to see a chess player full with tattoo's). Which I find also funny given the context of carefully considering the pro's and con's vs spontaneous.
