Sushi tattoos

They come in many shapes and sizes, are considered an art form, you need skill to make them perfectly and are influenced by Japanese culture. Off course I’m talking about tattoos, I mean about sushi, I mean about sushi tattoos! Whether you are a chef or just love to eat them these original and graphic sushi tattoos are always a good idea in my (cook)book.
