Oh hi, Wednesday. You’re finally here and that means I have an excuse to drool over creative tattoos inspired by all kinds of fandom. Putting this gallery together every week is a treat and gives me way too many tattoo ideas. When I’m not browsing the web or looking at geeky ink submissions from readers, I also enjoy flipping through actual paper books that highlight tattoos.

You can find coffee table-sized books with professional photos that truly emphasize the artistic aspects of tattoos. There’s at least one fandom specific title too — The Force in the Flesh by Shane Turgeon. I highly recommend flipping through the pages of that or any tattoo book to get a better appreciation for the beauty of ink. But until you can find one of those books, please enjoy this week’s Inked Wednesday:

Scroll down and flip through the entire gallery to see a gorgeous Songbird tattoo, an undead Deadpool, and more.

As always, if you have ink inspired by pop culture and would like to see it in Inked Wednesday, leave a link to photos in the comments or send pictures to me on Twitter.
