The uncommon tattoo is hard to find. Tattoo artists are always aware of the life and times around them to offer customers something unique. These [food tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics) fit the bill of being cut, conversational and unusual.

What kind of people get [consumable goods tattooed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punk-bunny-coffee) on them? How many of these inkings were due drunken munchies, you have to wonder!

**Implications** - The rise of individualism in mainstream culture transformed tattoos from societal taboos into the ultimate expression of one's personality. The simultaneous rise of foodie culture created a perfect opportunity for foodies to express their love of food through tattoos. Creative professionals can take advantage of this opportunity by infusing custom tattoos into their promotional materials or ad campaigns.
