I think (and to be clear, I have no firsthand knowledge of this, just basing it off of reading things over the years) one of the key aspects is digitally recreating the artwork, even if it's just for a virtual representation of the player. Take a million photos of a guy, no problem. An artist for EA/2K/whoever recreating that tattoo themselves? That's where a problem could pop up.

I'd also bet most tattoo artists wouldn't care, but obviously players are required to get their artists to sign off just to avoid any potential lawsuits.
