Using the TB Pic & Number

[+Bushma]

I'm curious, if I purchase a TB from the GS Store and I want to have a T-Shirt made using the bug picture and the TB number is that possible? Should I contact someone for permission before I do?

You can do that, but you can't send out the tag too. If you trash the shirt later, you can send out the bug, but don't delete previous logs, just edit the TB page to reflect a new goal for the TB. You should also not allow anyone to post a photo of you wearing the shirt without smudging out the tracking number, or holding your hand over the tracking number when they snap the photo. That number is secret and should only be used the people who actually see you in the shirt, to discover you. If you allow people to virtually discover your TB through photos, you risk having the TB page locked, because virtual discovery is considered abuse of the geocaching.com system.
