The hardcore [vegan tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/86-tattoo-limited-edition) depicted here have been inked on the limbs and body parts of those who are truly dedicated to their diet. Not only do they fight against the system of the [meat industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clabel-from-vlabel) by boycotting it with their nutritious eating habits, but they also have permanent reminders.

There are more than a few morbid tattoos shown in the gallery, from cute little chicks getting their throats slashed to a [family of pigs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-lion1) feasting on a human with an apple in his mouth. Having one these images inked on yourself shows true commitment to your cause, which make these tattoos pretty admirable.
