Austin Food Lover’s Tattoos

8 May 2009 4,311 views View Comments

I’m so intrigued by beautiful tattoos. My hair stylist Sharon has the most gorgeous sleeve of beautifully colored body art on one of her arms. While spending the evening at Thai Fresh the other night for a wonderful Tipsy Texan drinks and Thai appetizer cooking class, I noticed that a server at the restaurant had these awesome tattoos of produce on her inner forearms.

Madeline Pizzo told me she was a vegan for a long time and while living in Atlanta, got her first tattoo to honor one of her favorite foods, the gorgeous avocado. Next was the head of broccoli — from a tattoo shop on S. Lamar in Austin. I wasn’t able to ask more questions as Thai Fresh was busy that night and Madeline had hungry customers.

I’d love to check out other great food tattoos in Austin. Have you seen any?
