Anthony Bourdain has one. 

Alton Brown has one.

Michael Symon even has one.

Food/Cooking tattoos seem to be all the rage right now, so I’ve assembled a list of some of the best food or cooking tattoo art I could find.  If you’ve been thinking about getting a food related tattoo yourself you can mine this list for some inspiration, you might even get some free food out of it.  I’d skip the Rachel Ray one though (No, seriously.  Someone is that stupid).

9. Carrot with diamonds
10. Pickle love
11. Artichoke
12. Evil Potato

Food Icons - I don’t see how tattooing a brand/logo is a good idea, ever.

    Technically the Mortons Salt girl is an homage to the band Jawbreaker, who used the girl on a shirt design, but changed the text to WHEN IT PAINS, IT ROARS

    And the Fonzie Hot Dog is a send up of the band Minor Threat.

    I love it when food and punk rock go hand in hand
