He lost his mother at the young age of 15 to cancer and had a difficult time dealing with the loss.<\/p>\n

One way to seize a bit of the control that he had lost during that time in his life was by getting his first skull tattoo at the age of 16.<\/p>\n

After he graduated high school in 1995, Campbell set out to find a different life for himself.<\/p>\n

He ended up attending the University of Texas studying biochemistry, however, his internal debate finally swayed him to leave the University of Texas and move to San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Once in San Fran, Campbell started working for a publisher before he finally began to pursue his career as a tattoo artist.<\/p>\n

Once on his trajectory, Scott Campbell learned tattooing basics from one of California\u2019s oldest tattoo shops, Picture Machine.<\/p>\n

After honing his skills, Campbell traveled to Europe and Asia, tattooing for money as we went.<\/p>\n

He eventually made his way back to America, where he set up shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and opened the doors to Saved Tattoo.<\/p>\n

The clientele for Campbell includes celebrities like Heath Ledger, Penelope Cruz, Orlando Bloom, and Robert Downey Jr., to name a few.<\/p>\n

Since first tattooing Heath Ledger in 2005, Campbell has expanded his canvas by working with Marc Jacobs. He designed a leather bag for a Louis Vuitton men\u2019s collection back in 2011.<\/p>\n

Campbell has also achieved acclaim from the fine arts community through his inked pig skin designs, his US currency sculptures, his watercolor paintings of various makeshift tattoo needles<\/a> that were based on his experiences in a Mexico City prison, and his ostrich eggshell graphite drawings.<\/p>\n

Many of his works have been displayed in galleries all over the world to showcase his talent.<\/p>\n

Yet, some of Campbell\u2019s most interesting works have been done with his Whole Glory project, where he tattooed whatever he wanted on 23 willing participants behind a wall without any preparation beforehand.<\/p>\n

Outside of art, Campbell owns a wine company called Saved Wine and a cannabis brand called Beboe, named after his grandmother who made marijuana pastries for his mother before she lost her fight against cancer.<\/p>\n

As an artist, Campbell tends to play with two design extremes.<\/p>\n

There are the designs with super-elaborate line work, and then there are his super simplistic, almost minimalist designs that play off the intricacies of other elements within the same piece.<\/p>\n

Campbell expertly combines these two elements in many of his pieces, which is something that is unique to his artistic style.<\/p>\n
