Head to the gallery below to see more geeky ink by Wilson. You’ll find pieces inspired by Star Wars, Doctor Who, and DC Comics. To keep up with all of Wilson’s creations, follow him on Instagram. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, you can book appointments with him at Excelsior Ink Custom Tattoos.
If you have nerdy ink on your skin or you’re a tattoo artist that applies pop culture, STEM, music, or other nerd-inspired ink (the spectrum is broad, folks) on a regular basis, then please hit me up because I’d like to highlight you in a future Inked Wednesday gallery. You can get in touch with me via email at alratcliffe@yahoo.com. Send me photos of the tattoos you’d like me to feature (the higher resolution, the better) and don’t forget to let me know the name of your tattoo artist if you have it, as well the name of the shop he or she works out of. If you are the tattoo artist, give me links to your portfolios and/or Instagram accounts so I can share them with our readers.
