An assortment of food-themed tattoos

I’ve been seeing tons of tattoos about food lately, and I was thinking that as the iceman got tattoos of the beasts he hunted and ate, so does modern man get tattoos of the feasts he “hunts” and eats — the original spirit of tattooing flows through these pieces? Haha, probably not. There are more after the break from the last few updates and of course tons in the BME galleries — let me start though with a “Sacred Reuben”, tattooed by Erik Russel of 4182 Tattoo in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Also “sacred”, bbirdeman‘s “Sacred Moonpie” neck tattoo by James Jorgenson of Bay Area Tattoo in Houston, Texas.

Fetusinajar has a “church of pork” tattoo done by Bonnie Lou in Rockford, IL, claiming, “porkie goodness gets all the girls wet!” Well, greasy at least.

I have no explanation for this blazing McDonalds cup, done by Gabriel “Gabby” Moore at Marked 4 Life in York, PA.

Sublimeatl got a funny “NO GU LIKE FUGU” tattoo by Loke at Holy Mother Tattoo in Atlanta, Georgia.

Staying in the fish theme for a moment, this great sushi boat tattoo was done by Isaac Davis of Aces High Custom Tattooing in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Advice from your mother

With apologies to the submitter for posting this in this context, but one of the biggest reasons that piercings (and mods in general) go wrong is that people don’t take proper care of their bodies. Most body modifications are in effect asking your body to heal a wound “open”, which it’s definitely not evolved to do, so it’s important that you give it the best possible chances to do so by adhering to general standards of cleanliness.

As the person who processes the photos and has to look at everything in detail, ear washing is also appreciated for that reason.

Scissors Tattoo/Anchor Combo

Personally I’m not usually a fan of tattoo/piercing combinations most of the time — I think they tend to have a largely unintended air of silliness about them, to say nothing of the eventual scar and touch-up issue — but I really like this one, done by Lexci Million at Shambhala Tattoos using a 3mm Anatometal bezel set end. It looked a little too good to be true (most combos are an afterthought), and she confirms, saying,

“[The customer] got the tattoo as a combo piece. She booked her tattoo appointment and then came back for the anchor a couple weeks later, as soon as her tattoo was healed up. Luckily she doesn’t wear jeans so there’s no impact on the anchor in an otherwise high-impact area.”

Hey, wait a minute Lexci… Isn’t she wearing jeans in the photo? 😛
