I'd be curious to see if the original artist would repeat the tattoo if they'd done it on someone else. If it's small or part of their flash fair enough but just copying a whole piece seems a bit sketchy to me. I'm pretty sure a lot of artists I know would want to change it somehow. Might be just me but seems a bit cheeky copying it as the person who had it tattooed may have had a lot of input on the design etc too.
On a side not the music piece above might be a little tricky depending on size and placement. Parallel straight lines can be a bit of a bastard due to lack of genuine flat surfaces on the body. I would have thought running down the forearm should be ok though.
