Blame it on our sweet tooth, but we’re always down for a sugary treat. Be it cakes, cookies, ice cream, or more cake, we’ll eat confections any time of the day. In fact, we love sweets so much that we’ve been thinking about getting inked to honor our undying devotion to dessert. If you’re also in the market for a new tattoo, but aren’t sure what to get, check out these 21 dessert tattoos for a sugar rush of inspiration.
No matter what style you adhere to — American traditional, realism, neo traditional, etc. — there’s a sweet treat tattoo out there for you.
Here are a few tattoo tips for those who are headed to the tattoo shop for the first time: Firstly, always do your research. Figure out what you want, where you want it, and who you want it done by. This will ensure you’re getting a quality tattoo that you’re going to love, well, forever.
Next, no matter how much you love someone else’s tattoo, don’t copy it exactly. Get something original. Change up an existing design’s color scheme or add a personal touch to it. And finally, closely follow after-care instructions to make sure your tattoo heals correctly and looks as great as it did the day you got it.
Remember, getting this tattoo will hurt — but the result is going to be so sweet.
