Junk Food Tattoos
Why must the food that tastes the best be so, so, so bad for you? It's really cruel. on the plus side, a junk food tattoo contains zero calories.
Everybody loves junk food, no matter what they may say. We like to pretend that we’d never eat such garbage, that we’ve become so refined that we nary even entertain the thought of eating our way through a sleeve of Chips Ahoy. Even the healthiest person I’ve ever met had a secret junk food Achille’s heel, Sour Patch Kids in her case. Scarfing down a bag of Flamin’ Hot anything at 2 a.m. may fill you with immense amounts of joy, but most people aren’t going to advertise this fact.
As with so many other things, there’s nothing to be ashamed of here. Junk food tastes fucking good. As long as you make sure to eat plenty of other nutritious stuff—fries do not count as “vegetables”—you can enjoy junk food in moderation.
