This post might be a little PG-13.  Recently, two of our faithful ATC readers sent in pictures of their tattoos, each of which were, ahem, in, ahem, some interesting places.

About this one, Michael wrote:  A bunch of my friends and I were sitting around talking about silly tattoos. I offered the idea of getting a cupcake scuba diving right in my groin area. I went home later that night and drew the concept on the back of my Macy’s bill … It’s a great conversation starter!

And Jamie writes that these tattoos serve as her conscience!

I find it hard to not think about yummy cupcakes at the best of times!  But how would you go with a cupcake tattooed on your wrist?

Earl Nixon is a tattoo artist in California and he has done many a cupcake tattoo, and sent us these fantastic designs from his collection.  These two were my favorite and capture Earl’s style which he describes as traditional, but a with a new school twist incorporating bright colors and crazy cartoon style.  But these are by no means the limit to Earl’s cupcake creativity!  His portfolio includes funky cupcakes with cherries and also a spooky cupcake with bat sprinkles and a little skull on top!

Where would you place your tattoo??

We have received some really cool images this week of cupcake tattoos.  It got me thinking where I would put my cupcake tattoo if I wasn’t such a wimp when it comes to burning needles!  Also I have a huge tendency to change my mind, so anything that cannot be altered or modified five minutes later, is just no good.  But if I was to have one, where would it go?  I do like the ankle area, or perhaps on my tummy just along my pant line. Hmm, today it would definitely be chocolate with triple choc chip.

So where would you place yours – hypothetically of course!  I haven’t seen any head cupcake tattoos yet, but Jessica wins the shoulder one (well it is in the vicinity of her shoulder) with this gorgeous cupcake nestled under her arm.  I love the little red bow.

And no one has a knee one yet – if you do send it in.  However one of our readers did send in this little cherry dotted one on her foot.  A big hello to the Skull & Rose Gallery in Clintonville, Ohio, where these were done!

As a fan of cupcakes and epidermal artistry I have finally decided to combine my love of the two!  It took a few months of scouting ideas (a lot from your site) and a few weeks of finding the perfect color combos, but it was all worth it.  I decided to proudly display on my forearm for all the world to see.  Thanks for all you do to promote the utter awesomeness of the oh so humble cupcake!

Thank you so much for sharing! It’s adorable! ;)

We recently received this fun photograph from an ATC fan.

Here’s what she had to say:

Even as an adult I have a major sweet tooth and there are few things I like more than cupcakes! I love to bake and one day I will open my own bakery, where I have always envisioned having cupcakes as our main feature. One day I imagined a room like Willie Wonka where the cupcakes could grow like vines. I have been wanting this tattoo for awhile now so I just went for it! I got it done in Fayetteville, NC by Nathan at Tattoo World. Now I can’t wait to go to the beach and show it off!

Thank you for sharing!  It looks fantastic!  Have fun at the beach, and be sure to bring some cupcakes along!

Every now and then we find ourselves hearing from someone who has an amazing story of survival to tell.  Alex is one of these people!  At just 14 she suffered from a serious eating disorder that threatened to destroy her life.

She underwent treatment, then while at boarding school met a wonderful woman who showed her how to appreciate and celebrate the person that she was.  Alex got this super cute cupcake tattoo to mark her success at coming home both stronger mentally and physically.  She is now 21, and lives by her motto ‘I am women’.

My daughter designed 3 cupcake tattoos. One for her, one for my Mom and one for myself. Hers is a regular cupcake, my Mom’s is a pirate cupcake, and mine is a mixture of the two. I am a tattoo artist and I did all three tattoos one afternoon. We love cupcakes and I am glad I found your site today. I would be really honored to have our tattoos showcased on your site.
Thanks!
Cupcake  Mom  :)

Hello ATC! I wanted to submit my tattoo for the website, because it’s definitely not your every day, run of the mill cupcake tattoo. I decided to marry two of my favorite things, cupcakes and horror movies, and came up with a zombie cupcake eating another cupcake! It’s different, but still girly, and it makes me smile every day! Designed and inked by Robbie Mills at Cry Baby Ink in Eugene, OR

Thank you! And I LOOOOOVE your site! Monica

Hi! I stumbled across your site from Google and am glad I did! If I could sleep and breath cupcakes as well as eating them I would! I just wanted to share my new cupcake tattoo with you. It’s based on a cupcake I made and brought in to the tattoo artist. It was chocolate Guinness with Bailey’s frosting, gold dragees, and a white chocolate merken drawn on with gourmet markers. My tattoo was done at Way Cool Tattoos, Toronto, ON, CA.

How cool! Thanks for sharing! :)

So i just recently got some new ink, a cupcake to be exact.  I got it done by  Albie Rock at White Mountain Tattoo in North Conway NH. I made cupcakes for the Tattoo peeps so they could tattoo that cupcake on me.

Albie did a GREAT job … he had alot of fun doing it and he even thanked me for letting him do such a fun tattoo.  And like me he is an avid blogger so he blogs every day and he called me a “Cute as a Cupcake Tatster”in his blog,  ahhh i love it! So here is the new love of my life … try not to drool over it  because it does look that tasty!

I got this tattoo after many months of waiting. My sister and I have always been into cupcakes, and I wanted to show my love for them as well as my appreciation for her being my sister. After endless hours of looking at other cupcake tattoos, I knew it was time to get my own. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do! – Allison

My name is Julie & I am from Gateshead, UK. I would like to contribute my Cupcake tattoo to your fabulous site! I originally had my cupcake done in Nov last year then finally had it “pimped” 2 weeks ago to put the icing on the cake – so to speak! Haha!

I totally love cupcakes & adore my tattoo! It was done by Danny Edwards & pimped by Dan Kelly both of Voodoo Tattoo in Warrington, UK!

Hello!
Here is my cupcake tattoo with my daughter’s nick name. It was done by my friend Jenny a.k.a. “Little” at Good Luck Tattoo in Santa Cruz. – Vanessa

For my birthday this year, my boyfriend made a cupcake t shirt modeled off a cupcake tattoo he found on the internet.  I love it!

Hello! My name is Amanda and I’m from South Jersey. I’m starting Pastry School in a few days, so yesterday I decided to get a cupcake tattoo on my hip. It is my first tattoo (since I just turned 18 in may) and probably my last, but I love it! I came across this website looking for ideas, so I figured I’d send mine in now that it’s finished. Thanks for the inspiration!

Beautiful cupcake tattoo designs this month include:
