Now, let’s look at a Carrie FisherOpens in a new tab tribute. KaitlynOpens in a new tab got this Leia ink as a nod to the actress. She says she designed it by using the buns from the spine of Fisher’s book The Princess Diarist and combining them with a banner and the word “hope” written in Fisher’s handwriting. Aww.

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 WednesdayOpens in a new tab 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.
