Food tattoos – When cravings become permanent

There’s no doubt about it that I love food. I thoroughly enjoy consuming it, preparing it, looking at it, playing with it, sharing it, reading about it, learning about it, feeling it, dreaming about it, imagining myself being it…

Er.

Anyway, these people took food to a whole new level by tattooing variations on their bodies. Continuing the QJ tattoo tradition, here’s a few quirky food tattoos. You can find tons more at the link, though. There are perfect vegetables, restaurant logos, an amazing hot dog, a mixer, pie, bacon, shrimp, kiwis, candy….so much there!

But here’s a quick taste for you before you go over there:


Awww, milk and cookies!


Brains and eggs?


Ooo, so angry!


What a perfect little cupcake…and skulls.


A butcher’s cheat sheet.


“Sacred Heart of Deliciousness.” The owner of this one actually posted on the page that she’s gone vegan and doesn’t even eat half of these things now, but still loves to bake, etc!

Jolly Rancher toppings, syrups

Don’t get me wrong, I like Jolly Rancher candies just fine….but this just seems weird to me. I really don’t think I’d want my milk to taste like their two new flavors “blue raspberry” and “green apple.” I don’t want to ice cream to be covered in those either, but then again, I’m sure some people do!

After browsing through the recipes suggested on the Hershey’s site, the only thing I thought I might consider using it for were the “green apple pudding pops.” Jolly Ranchers and “green apple” both make me think something more like jello, candy, or even popsicles…more “clear” and “light.” To mix that with the thickness of milk or pudding seems way too heavy, creamy, and “ew.” I could certainly be wrong, though.
