Outside of a list featuring tattoos inspired by the movie itself, I didn’t think Forrest Gump would be referenced elsewhere on TTA, but here we are.
All of the tattoos featured in this list just happen to be heart-shaped boxes, perhaps due to a love of chocolate or a cherished memory, but it’s certainly not a requirement.
Chocolate is mass produced by the tonnes every year, but each of these tattoos is one of kind, drawn custom by the tattooer for their client. Use these tattoo images as inspiration and source photos only, please.
A chocolate box tattoo could include lyrics or other elements tying it the Nirvana song if you were to stick with the heart shaped box. Perhaps it’s purely for nostalgia’s sake, based on a brand or product no longer produced. Maybe you received a box of chocolates for a special achievement, celebration or moment in your life. A trip to Europe and treating yourself to high quality chocolates from a fancy boutique could become a forever-lasting reminder of your travels thanks to a box of chocolates tattoo.
If you were to book an appointment for a chocolate box tattoo, what would you get?
After your appointment and the adrenaline is wearing off, you may feel just like Üter Zörker because you too are now full of chocolate, even if it is just a tattoo.
