On a recent trip to San Francisco, some friends and I impulsively went out and got tattooed--and naturally, a couple of us chose crafty themes (you can see them here). This got me wondering about other crafters who have decided to make their love of needle and thread a permanent, ink-on-flesh kinda thing. Turns out there are a lot of them! Pictured above is a sweet yarn pinup from Flickr user KitchenAidCrusader. Below we have Heidi Kenney (My Paper Crane) and her retro "Homemaker" tattoo (photo by Faythe Levine), and HeatherJeany's nicely-inked embroidery scissors. Got a crafty tattoo of your own? Leave a comment, we'd love to see 'em.

I should be in the kitchen!
I love this one... this was done by one of the girls at LA Ink, my very favorite show.

Jenny it's almost creepy. I was making a flyer to collect images of crafty tattoos to maybe be a part of Handmade Nation credits (thought it would be cool to show how devoted our generation is to craft) and what do I stumble upon posted just yesterday but this thread!!
So HERE is my crafty tattoo that I got 10 years ago (10 years what the heck?!).
I'll post a link to the flyer when it's done!

mine's more culinary than crafty, but as cooking is an art & craft...

There are a lot of knitting tats out there too, some can be found here and there's a tat group on Ravelry.
