Geek Inspired Ink by Tattoo Artist Scott Derby

February 9, 2011 in Art with 6 Comments

Scott Derby, a tattoo artist local to Philadelphia (he’s in West Chester), creates some awesomely geek-tastic tattoo designs, and shares the flash images on his Deviant Art page.

You’ve Got Red On You, an awesome Shaun of the Dead inspired illustration, caught my eye immediately. This next one…

Han Shot First, made me fall in love with Derby’s work. Bravo, good sir.

Thanks to Todd Coleman (@todd_coleman) for the heads up. Your pal does some great work, Todd. Tell him we said hi.

About Eric: Eric spends most of his time writing, taking pictures, reading, and hanging out with his (somewhat famous) chinchilla Mittens and bunny Rory. He teaches writing and literature at some local Philadelphia colleges and works in publishing. He knows absolutely nothing about sports, and is proud of it.

    Thanks for the attention!

    Slight correction: I am not a tattoo artist (I wish!), merely a fan of both tattooing and pop-culture. I wouldn’t want to offend those that are actual tattoo artists, as I respect them immensely and am in awe of their talents and abilities….

    Thanks again for the love!
    Best,
    Scott Derby

    His work is awesome, but shame on you for not posting the Ghostbusters’ image on the main article. That one is pure genius.
