Tea Tattoo anyone?

So apparently Louis Tomlinson from One Direction has gotten a tea tattoo! To be honest it‘s a pretty basic tattoo, not much skill involved BUT it is a teacup. Apparently he got the tattoo (his 74th!) as a dedication to his favourite line “you can't go to bed without a cup of tea” from the One Direction song Little Things.




Another famous tea tattooed celeb is Ed Sheeran but his tattoos are pretty crazy. Heinz Baked Beans anyone?



It got me thinking about tea and tattoos and would I ever get one. I do love tea and I do love tattoos but for me the link just isn’t there. For me, Chinese tea is a passion and I would be lost without the serenity I achieve from it. But a tea tattoo? I’m just not convinced. I mean what would I get tattooed? I cup of my favourite Oolong while it brews? A Puerh tea cake? Hmmm. I am really not convinced. Maybe what would be better for me would be to get a tattoo of what Chinese tea culture symbolises for me. The Chinese symbol for ceremony perhaps or serenity. Maybe that’s too cheesy but that is how I feel.

How do you feel about it? Is a tea tattoo something you would consider? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Peace out,
