A Children’s Treasury of Bakery-Fresh Tattoos


Well, after last night’s exercise in grotesquerie, with all the dead famous folks, we figured some much-needed levity was the order of the day, and what better way to get our minds off of the tragedy of premature death than with sweet, delicious cupcakes? Miss Martin out of Shaman Modifications Tattoo & Piercing Studio in Austin, Texas, just sent in this series of cupcake (and other pastry-related) tattoos, because, hey, who doesn’t love cupcakes? Plenty more, after the jump.

    Can someone enlighten me as to what the object in the larger cupcake in the first picture is supposed to be?
    Pardon my ignorance if it’s actually really obvious.

    Miss Martin is awesome. She brings in cupcakes about 2 or 3 times a month for us at work. She’s great
