I'm wondering if anyone out there has gotten a food tattoo? I saw the subject posted here a year ago and there were some really great responses. Several people said they were going to get one. I'm a fan of unusual tattoos and have several that are science themed. My next one might be a food molecule - caffeine, capsaicin or theobromine (from chocolate.) Whatcha all got?
hot & sour soup, pork & chive dumplings, scallion pancakes, kung pao chicken, and something noodle-y, cause I just looove noodles!
Do any of you have photos of your tattoos? Or your hardcore friends? Let me know.
There's a pretty great flickr pool of food tattoos: http://www.flickr.com/groups/foodtatts
I love the tiny steak knuckle tattoo.
Ed, kudos for sharing your experience so publicly. I wish you the best in attaining your goals. I am in the 4th week of my "program," and as someone who has never been able to lose weight or resist temptation, I am finally finding success and freedom from cravings. I read somewhere that failure is giving up what you most for what you want Right Now. Good luck!

Peking Duck...Wait, shouldn't that be Beijing Duck??? LOL...
my next piece (tatt #10) will be my fav fruit...a giant red apple on the back of my calf. i am also tossing around the idea of a portrait of st. honore and a replica of the sugar stage scale on a taylor candy thermometer.
ps-i finish pastry school in two months.
A friend of mine has a half-sleeve of a sushi tsunami. Gah, I wish I had a picture of it handy. It's magnificent.
@crazyspice... Look. There's no way I can be both an OC housewife AND be in my twenties. That would be an oxymoron.
But, to answer your question... Yes, I am... as long as you divide by two.

OMG LoCo- you crack me up. I was never thin enough to wear a crop top at any stage of my life so my stomach only bears the scars of motherhood...
And I share LoCo's connundrum about what symbol to get. I thought about a whisk or a set of measuring cups but who am I kidding? I can't bear the thought of being jabbed repeatedly in the same area of skin for even the shortest amount of time. I will probably remain inkless the rest of my life.

@grampart... priceless! You put my feelings into words, perfectly! I'm inkless, and plan to remain so. Even if I wanted one, I'd never be able to settle on one perfect symbol.
Besides, I feel plenty cooking-decorated... I've got many residual dark spots on my hands and forearms from the numerous burns I've inflicted on myself over the years (mostly from oven racks). Plus a nice one near my belly button from the never-fry-bacon-in-a-crop-top lesson of my early 20s.
