Inside: Cutest bagel tattoo ideas you will love.
I think there are two groups of people in the world: People who like carbs and people who LOVE carbs. I am taking carbs in every form; pizza, bread, pasta, and donuts…you name it, they are obsessed. I fall into this group, and there is one carb that I love more than all the rest… bagels!
I love bagels. I have since I was a kid, and I will continue loving them until I am too old to eat them. I don’t want to think about that day, so let’s talk about something else.
Recently, I have decided I want to get a bagel tattoo. Because how else would I show my appreciation for this beautiful food? So, I have scoured the internet and found the best bagel tattoo ideas for food lovers. I want to share my findings with you so that you can find the bagel tattoo of your dreams! But first, let’s briefly go over the logistics.

How Much Will a Bagel Tattoo Cost?
A bagel tattoo will cost anywhere from $50-$1000 dollars, maybe more. I know this seems like a wide range to work with, but you have to consider the wide factors that go into your end price. Size, color, artist…all of these things play a role in your end price.
The longer your tattoo takes, the more expensive it will be. This is because most tattoo artists work by the hour, so if your tattoo takes more time, it will take more of your dime as well. Wow, that was a good little rhyme there. If you want a bigger tattoo, I recommend saving up for a while before making your appointment.
A tattoo is a worthy thing to save for!
How Badly Will It Hurt?
If this is the question you were waiting for, I am guessing you have never had a tattoo before. This is so exciting! Please don’t let the idea of pain deter you; it is very endurable pain. Plus, it’s a part of the experience. Many people will get a tattoo during a hard time in their life because they feel it is therapeutic. It can’t be that bad, right?
Your first tattoo is going to be a bagel; that is pretty cool. If you are really worried about how bad it will hurt, I recommend getting some numbing cream or spray. This stuff goes on before you get started and then numbs the area it is applied to so you barely have to feel a thing. It’s seriously cool.
Don’t be ashamed about needing it, either. Some seasoned tattoo lovers will say that you need the pain to earn the tattoo, but I don’t think that is true or necessary. If you want to do what you can to hurt less, go for it! It’s your body, after all.
Okay, now let’s get into these ideas!
