Omg. I wanted to do “sell food” on my knuckles! Until my chefs talked me out of it. I personally have a salt Shaker and a pepper shaker on each of my forearms, but my chef has the best. Full food service sleave- sockeye salmon, celery, carrots, onions etc. But the kicker is he has a chicken wing in his armpit crotch- so he can make it “flap”
I didn’t realize how many I had until I saw this post.
1. Melty skull mint chocolate chip ice cream 2. Melty skull pepperoni and mushroom pizza 3. Death before decaf grim reaper (done by former barista turned tattoo artist. The yellow mug is the mug we use at our shop) 4. Caffeine molecular (first coffee tattoo. Second tattoo ever. Thought I was original) 5. Coffee plant (won this in a latte art throwdown. Done by former barista turned tattoo artist) 6. Real Gs Move in silence like lasagna (same former barista)

They’re kitchen shears, but most people who ask about them think I’m a hairdresser…
I’m just here cause y’all are a hoot but back when I did work BOH I had a coworker with a tattoo of an anthropomorphic 40oz, drinking a 40oz, while riding a skateboard also made out of a 40oz.
Onion that I spilled hot coffee on (at work) the day after I got it. It got super infected. Also, everyone thinks it’s garlic. This was also a stick and poke that took about 5 hours

Maybe being in the industry for 25 years has made me dumb(er), because I fucking love almost all of these.

I wish I still had a picture but my roommate had a slice of pizza with a banner that said “true love never dies” on her leg.

On the top of my right leg. A stick and poke from a baby tattoo artist, from a joke that occurred while processing fifty pounds of blewbs.
I regret nothing. It’s one of my favorites
