Serious Eats: Frank Drebben's Profile

As much as I love food, I can't think of a cool food-related icon I'd want permanently inked on my body. I love pho, but I can't imagine printing a bowl of pho on me. I'd especially be angry if they included onions and cilantro. :P

I suppose I could go simplistic and get a tattoo on my forehead that says:

Question of the Day: Ever consider a food-related tattoo?

I have a duck on my right upper arm with a heart and a banner that says DUCK FAT, and below that a bracelet of the native chilepetins- they are small, like THai bird chilies, and have heart shaped leaves, so my husband's name is in one of the leaves. Left arm is a grape bunch with "Zinfandel" above and "Primitivo" below. Bracelet for that arm will likely be basil and tomatoes, but I am also looking for someone willing to do the Time Magazine portrait of Ms. Julia on my back.

I have long considered one since becoming a chef, and have finally done it. Of course it takes a while to finally decide what you want to have done, but I am really happy with what I came up with:

There was a slideshow of chef's tattoos in the NY Times a while back...
(unfortunately I think you have to be a TimesSelect member to view)

I had one all planned out. It was to have been a cornucopia that started on my outside, upper calf and pointing down and inward with all sorts of fruits and vegetables tumbling out and over my ankle and down the top of my foot. I wanted the name of my culinary academy and all of the restaurants where I have cooked worked into the weave of the basket. However, since I was injured I began to experience edema and I don't want a tattoo anywhere that swells and shrinks so much. Now I think I'll eventually get it on my thigh instead.

P.S. Those of you who don't like tattoos certainly have the right to express your opinion, but you don't have to be mean about it. I mean,the term "tramp stamps" is just plain rude when describing an often beautiful art form that has been around for several millenia.

Add me to the list of those who dislike tattoos. I associate them with the Holocaust, slavery, and cattle branding.

I don't know about the tattoo, but I'm in love with a perfect one-inch scale model of a chef's knife. Sold as a pendant at Random Gifts in the East Village.
