Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D has emerged victorious in a copyright lawsuit filed against her by photographer Jeffrey Sedlik. After just over two hours of deliberation, a Los Angeles jury found that Von D did not violate Sedlik's copyright when she used his portrait of jazz legend Miles Davis as the basis for a tattoo she inked on the arm of a friend.
Von D, known for her appearances on reality shows 'Miami Ink' and 'LA Ink,' expressed her relief outside the courtroom, stating, 'I'm obviously very happy for this to be over. It's been two years of a nightmare worrying about this, not just for myself but for my fellow tattoo artists.'
