Burger me, these set of burger tattoos are just grilliant—‘owners’ can enjoy [fast food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-char) all year round, 24/7.

These burger tattoos are also very strange; the concept of a burger with legs and a singing burger are really hard for me to comprehend. Of course, the second burger tattoo is my favorite from this collection, if only for the ‘[burger on a bum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-billboards)’ play on words, which is impossible to resist.

**Implications** - But looking through these burger tatts, it's hard not to think of the people featured as a little misguided. Many of the tattoos are funny, some are gross-looking, but they all smack of 'bad decision at the ink shop.' Nevertheless, these burger lovers are determined to share their passion for beef with the world. Enjoy.
