I got a text message from CM Punk last Tuesday letting me know that not only did he get a cupcake tattoo that afternoon, but he also declares 2009 “Year of the Cupcake.” The first tattoo photo (taken with his Sidekick) was pretty bad so last night I asked him for a new one. This one’s better, believe it or not, and he said Shawn Michaels took it, which makes it even more awesome.

You may recall the Sugar Slam bake off I hosted a few months ago- Punk picked a Pepsi cupcake as the winner not only because it was named after him, but also because it wasn’t really frosted. What kind of frosting hater gets a cupcake tattoo?

2009: Year of the Cupcake according to CM Punk, you heard it here first.

 i’m a HUGE fan of your website. i own/run a very small cupcake and chocolate business out of my home called cupcake catastrophies to help pay my way through culinary school. i was so happy when i found your website because that meant that i was not alone in my unnatural obsession with cupcakes. lol. so about 2 months ago i started a new tattoo piece on my leg. the theme is sweets and sugarskulls and where best to start but with the cupcake. my roommate is a professional tattoo artist and she did it for me. i will be getting some zombie cupcakes on my arms to add to my sleeves soon but until then here’s my beautiful cupcake! thanks guys!!!!

The tattoo was done by Fawzeiah Al-Jaamal at Skinworks Tattoo in Shreveport, LA

I just stumbled upon your site and saw your cupcake tattoo gallery. I’d like to submit my cupcake tattoo. I got it in September of this year to commerate my 45th birthday and my cupcake business. It’s on my mid-upper back and was done by Chris at Avalon II in San Diego, CA. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing Dianne. It’s adorable!

“First of all…..I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE! I sit in front of the computer for hours looking at it. I stumbled upon it while researching cupcake tattoos. I have waited 2 years to get mine since I found out I was pregnant right before I could get it and then I nursed my darling daughter for a year as well. So I wanted to share it with you and hopefully you can put it up on your website. I just had it done on Friday the 7th and couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out. Mikey Sarratt at Intense Creations in Tempe, Az did it and he has done practically all my tattoos. He is amazing! My tattoo is supposed to resemble my older daughter who is 5 1/2 and she is holding onto the cupcake in one hand and a purple umbrella in the other. Sprinkles are raining down in the background. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.”

Well I stumbled on your blog and lurk quite often.  I got a cupcake tattoo after I started working at The Blue Cake Company in Little Rock, AR.  Judd Ferguson of 7th Street Tattoos was the fabulous tattoo artist.  I just wanted to share it with you :)

Thanks for sharing your tattoo with us Kelly!

Taylor from Nashville, TN sent us these pictures of a sleeve she drew on herself…she doodled all over her arm. I think this would make a super cute cupcake sleeve tattoo!

Taylor’s Cupcake Tattoo by Laura at Music City Tattoos, Nashville TN. Taylor loves it and plans on getting a whole sleeve of yummy treats! I flipped the first picture over so you can see it better!

Thanks for sharing your cupcake tattoo with us! It’s awesome!

My mid-life crisis part IV–My new cupcake tattoo!! I LOVE it! It took me a while to find the right tattoo artist to do it because I really wanted it fully shaded & great color. It’s about 4″x 4 1/2″ on my lower right shin.
I love it, love it, love it!

A huge thanks to Markus at Lucky Soul Tattoo in Ansonia, CT www.luckysoultattoo.com/

I’m a big fan of “all things cupcake”, and a few weeks ago got myself a cupcake tattoo!!!! I researched it for months and designed two different ones before I settled on the one I got. Several of the tattoos on your page inspired my design.
I bake cupcakes almost every weekend and I’m always experimenting with different recipes (you can see some of them here: angel’s mind (cupcake tag) and some more here angel’s photos (cupcake tag)… I just need to remember to photograph them all!!!
I love visiting ATC for ideas and to drool over all the cupcake goodies… I now also have a cupcake apron for when I bake!!!
ciao

Thanks Angel! We love your tattoo! :)
