Derek Turcotte is a talented tattoo artist from Canada who specializes in intricate tattoo designs inspired by popular video games and comics. Owner of the Electric Grizzly Tattoo studio in Canmore, Canada, Derek Turcotte has also made a name for himself internationally thanks to his popular Instagram account where he shares his amazing designs with over 300,000 followers. The 36-year-old has been drawing since he was just a kid and he’s been doing tattoos for 18 years now, specializing in all sorts of intricate, colorful designs. But it’s Turcotte’s comic book and video game-inspired works that have attracted the most attention of late, and for good reason – they’re stunning! “I love working on large projects and creating unique, large-scale tattoos that will look good from across a room,” Turcotte told the Craig and Canyon newspaper. “I love that I get to create something new every day.” Turcotte realized he had artistic talent when, as a teenager, he painted his whole bedroom in murals, and while his parents may not have appreciated the way he expressed his skills, it was great practice for his career as a tattoo artist. Now he spends his days turning clients into living artworks decorated with their favorite comic book and video game characters. Whether you’re into gaming and comic books, or even a fan of tattooing, you can’t deny Derek Turcotte’s artistic talent. His works are in a league of their own.
