I'm in the process of designing a pin-up (40's style) of a chefly young lady with a plate of sushi in one hand, and a slice of maki in the other, along with all of the standard accoutrement of a pin up. I already have a toqued skull biting my first chef knife tatted on my other arm, in military style. Soon I will add the words 'Death From Within' in some form with that one. I will try to post up pics when they are complete!

I thought about getting a food tattoo for my first tattoo (inked in May), but I ended up creating my own design...which has nothing to do with food. If I ever get another tattoo, it will be food-related!

Btw, Flickr has great "food tattoo" pools, if anyone is looking for inspiration.

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.

@LoCo - You and me both!!

If you're looking for authentic Italian pizza, I can highly recommend Luisa's Brick Oven. From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look much but the pizzas are baked in an oven that was imported from Italy and having been to Italy, the thin crust pizzas are really authentic. I don't remember the exact location but your favorite search engine will bring you the results.

Price's Chicken Coop is supposed to rock.

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.
