Perfectly Puffed Popcorn Tattoos

A tattoo perfect for any true cinephile: a salty and buttery popcorn tattoo.

With inflation and the already exorbitant prices of food and drink at the movies, a popcorn tattoo compares in price to the tasty cinema staple, especially when you consider that it will be with you for decades.

There are some seriously weird and wonderful ideas here – some of these tattoos are as silly as the movies we watch whilst enjoying a big bowl of popcorn. Some people have chosen to add a bit of personality to their popcorn piece by adding a face and others have gone the adorable route with some animal action.

Just like movies, each of these tattoos has its own genre and classification which will appeal to certain audiences. When I think about popcorn in film and television the first three things that pop into my head are:

• Gremlins in the cinema, watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, eating popcorn and making a huge mess;
• Mr. Bean throwing popcorn around as he’s horrified by the scary movie he’s watching at the cinema with his date; and
• How can anyone forget Drew Barrymore (as Casey Becker) in Scream, answering the phone while she was making popcorn on the stove?

Make yourself some popcorn, sit down, relax, and be entertained and inspired by these perfectly puffed popcorn tattoos.
