It seems like all the bad-ass chefs have tattoos these days (read: Anthony Bourdain). The latest trend among foodies is ink declaring their love for things like bacon and hotdogs. There are even some creative veggie-inspired tattoos too. These foodies must have some serious love to have a full colored piece of food on them for the rest of their lives. This takes “you are what you eat” to a whole new level.
I’ve rounded up the most jaw dropping, cute and just plain crazy food-inspired tattoos. Maybe they will inspire you to go to the nearest tattoo parlor and order one of these delicious, artistic designs for yourself.
Best knuckle tattoos: How cute is that block of cheese?! This type of small work is impressive in any case, and the fact that it’s food makes it even better.
