In 1950, De Nederlandsche Bank held a competition to produce new banknotes, and Escher sent a series of sketches. Unfortunately, the designs have been refused for being 'too ornate.' Escher money would have made for great tattoos.

The rice in sushi was not originally intended to be eaten. The rice was used for fermentation, after the process was completed, the rice was discarded and only the fish was eaten. Today, the vinegar rice in sushi is considered as important as the fish itself.

It is estimated that 1.6 billion cups of coffee are consumed worldwide every day. That's almost 2 million every five minutes! Some people are so attached to their beloved coffee that they immortalize it in the form of a tattoo. It’s also a way to memorialise a memory of a coffee person or a dedication to the products that gives them an income. Whatever the reason, these original coffee tattoos certainly are my cup of tea.
