Enter any professional kitchen and you will see plenty of tattoos on display. Why is this?
Foodies can take their love of edible comforts to a whole new level. Chefs are keen on fine details, beautiful works of art, and meaningful connections. After all, what is more, personal and detailed than cooking a beautiful meal for someone?
A chef tattoo is an expansive realm of body art that perceptively encompasses the finest creature comforts imaginable. These noble emblems are swanky and baronial. You could even call them à la mode! Because they reveal a divine longing for lavish enjoyments, culinary body art is in an august league of their own.
Working with food is some of the most demanding work on the planet. These dedicated cooking professionals work long, grueling shifts that require tons of discipline and plenty of talent in the kitchen. While difficult, the work is rewarding. This is why you find so many chef tattoos. Chefs are notorious ink-lovers who display their love for cooking in ink.
Chef tattoos come in all shapes and sizes, but the most common is a big chef’s knife on the forearm. It looks rather tough, which we know is by design, but we wanted to discover more imaginative designs as well.
