But Holley didn’t want just any old “Star Wars” design: He worked with Eddie Stacey at Ink & Dagger Tattoo in Roswell, GA, to create a one-of-a-kind piece that Holley calls “Japanese with perhaps American realism.”

“My wife is the lover of all things Asian,” he says. “This piece just always made sense to me. I’m a pop culture/sci-fi guy all the way.”

There’s clearly a lot going on in and around the tattoo, and each section holds something special. Holley breaks it down:

“Luke and Vader as samurai…Obi-Wan as a yūrei, Artoo as a pagoda lamp, stolen Death Star plans, Leia as a geisha, [and] TIE fighter/Star Destroyer kite strings. You can also see Ignignokt and Err (The Mooninites from “Aqua Teen Hunger Force”) and a bit of the “Dune” sandworm [Frank Herbert] on the right arm and some of the Lovecraft tentacles and sarlacc pit on the left arm.”
