answer:I’m going to go with “no” on this one. Don’t get me wrong. I love tattoos and cooking but the two don’t mix for me. Recipes lack the aesthetic quality I look for in tattoo ideas and I’m afraid the body wouldn’t serve as a very good recipe card either. You probably wouldn’t bother to get a short recipe tattooed on you, you’d probably go for something wonderful and complex that you couldn’t possibly commit to memory. The thing is there aren’t many places you could fit a recipe like that on the body and fewer you could actually consult while cooking. The chest provides alot of room, but isn’t a good choice since bare-chested cooking isn’t a good idea (grease burns anyone?). The back also provides a lot of room, but unless you, again go shirtless, and have an intimate cooking partner it won’t be very useful. Really the only accessible spots for a recipe would be the arms. There’s a lot less room here so that already restricts what sort of recipe you could fit. And to make matters worse you could really only read the inside of your arm easily, the most painful bit to get tattooed. The extra pain may not be an issue, but as someone that tends to run cold I don’t think I could get past the irritation of having to constantly roll up sleeves, remove jackets or change clothing to accommodate my cooking. So long as I’ve got my best recipes at hand in my book or recipe box I’ll be fine.
