GRAPHICA Program Rules

1. Authenticity of Submissions

  • All images uploaded by artists must represent their own, original tattoo work.
  • Images must not be digitally manipulated, AI-generated, or otherwise altered beyond standard photographic adjustments (e.g. cropping, lighting correction).
  • SKINGRAPHICA reserves the right to employ AI-detection and manual verification to assess authenticity, including confirmation with studios or clients.

2. Rights & Usage

  • By submitting images, artists grant SKINGRAPHICA a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the artwork across its channels, platforms, and marketing materials.
  • SKINGRAPHICA will always provide credit to the artist and/or studio whenever submitted work is used publicly.
  • Artists retain full ownership of their artwork and may use it independently outside of SKINGRAPHICA.

3. Credit & Recognition

  • Where artist names or studio details are provided with submissions, SKINGRAPHICA will ensure these are clearly credited in all public uses of the images.
  • SKINGRAPHICA does not claim ownership over the artwork; the license extends solely to promotional, educational, and community purposes.

4. Global Rankings & Automatic Status

  • Artists featured in the SKINGRAPHICA Global Rankings are automatically conferred their respective status:

-  Black Ivy (Top 10 ranked artists)

-  GRAPHICA (Top 100 ranked artists)

  • Applications will be immediately approved upon verification and awarded the respective tier status.
  • Assigned status includes all privileges, benefits, and acknowledgements as detailed in the GRAPHICA section of the SKINGRAPHICA website.

5. Conduct & Integrity

  • Artists must represent themselves and their work truthfully at all times.
  • Misrepresentation of authorship, submission of another artist’s work, or fraudulent activity will result in removal from the GRAPHICA Program and potential disqualification from Global Rankings.
