Why? Because I feel like all the cool kids are doing it. But I would probably end up like this young lady, who got the ‘Part Time Vegan’ tattoo. This bad boy commemorates her once-a-year indulgence in the [greasiest, meatiest burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-uk-campaign) she can find. All the other days, she is a [full time vegan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dine-vegan-nashville), refraining from having any animal products, but on that sacred day she is a part time vegan. She goes the whole hog, so to speak.
