And if they both went to the same tattoo place, they both happened to pick the same picture, or if they both went to different parlors, both shops must have had the same picture.
If someone has the same tattoo as you, it is not original. Nothing wrong with that, but what can happen, is you can come accross someone with the exact same one. It's like wearing the same outfit as your friend at a party, it's like, "oh man!"
So it can happen, but some people just want a badass looking tattoo on their body as they like the art. Some people choose originals and have more meaning to them.
Different people like different things.
