Congratulations, Howard! You are definitely adventurous and young-at-heart.
Don't worry about copyright or permissions of any kind.  The 3-D cartoons
of Pasquale from Rose is Rose were converted to anaglyph 3-D by Mike
Hodsdon, who has never been credited for his 3-D work on the Rose website
either by Pat Brady or United Features even though both promised to show a
3-D credit for him there and never did.  If you ask anybody's permission,
it should be his!

Actually, the first 3-D tattoo, to my knowledge, is worn by Marilyn
Gatewood of Springfield, Missouri.  In 1984 she had an anaglyphic tattoo
called "Homage to Marilyn Monroe" applied to her right shoulder by New York
tattoo artist Joseph P. O'Sullivan.  The original art came from a panel in
Three-Dimensional Alien Worlds (Pacific Comics: 1984) with a story titled
"Fair Play" featuring art by Dave Stevens, creator of "The Rocketeer."  I
reprinted this story in "Space Vixens" in 1989 and the inside back cover of
the (2nd printing) of this book has a photograph of Ms. Gatewood's
anaglyphic tattoo.

If you do this, Howard, you are going to need to carry around a pair of
anaglyph glasses.
