I like tattoos. I like getting them and I like looking at them. I am not so sure if I would ever get one of these cupcake tattoos, but they sure do look delicious.

For the truly devoted [cupcake enthusiast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumbs-colossal-cupcake), these inks are all frosted and yummy-looking. Evoking a super sweet and girly appeal, the cupcake tattoos are actually some of the best art I have come across in awhile and trust me, I come across a lot.
