When artist Craig Drake gave Princess Leia the ’80s — ala Duran Duran Rio — treatment with his portrait “The Princess” it was only a matter of time before a fan decided to commemorate the art in a more permanent manner. Little did we fathom that our own Matt Martin from Lucas Online would be first up under the needle to get “The Princess” tattoo.

Above is the first look at the tattoo from the Sacred Rose Tattoo studio in Berkeley, Calif. Stay tuned to see how the final tattoo turns out, as well as an interview on Starwars.com with tattoo artist Karen Roze.
