Biography

[close]

Texan born Scott Campbell is known throughout the World for his iconic tattoo art. He left the world of bio-chemistry and fled to California, working at Picture Machine in San Francisco, tattoo mecca, and land of Dead Kennedy’s and punk rock kids, subsequently roaming to Madrid, Singapore, Japan and France.
    Two years ago, he set up Saved Tattoo Gallery and shop in New York’s Wiliamsberg, and comments “it’s just exploded”, to the extent they just had to relocate to a larger space.
    Inspired by antique typography, his work resonates with current trends in the fashion world: antlers, birds, nautical and skulls underpinning many designs, and Campbell finds that fashion week is his busiest time of the year.
