The temptation of chocolate is a divine one, and few can resist its overwhelming pull.

Decadent and endorphin-boosting, the humble cacao bean’s ultimate endpoint is perfect not only for after-dinner indulgences and holiday treats, but also for the equally irresistible tattoo homage.

Willy Wonka wasn’t the only adult who favored the world of gooey chocolate over this one, and your tattoo imprint no doubt speaks the same of you. From chocolate-dipped cherries and chocolate chip cookies to piping hot mugs of cocoa, as well as your favorite creations a la Godiva, Nestle, Lindt, and Hershey, your tattoo is your own personal supply of ever-delectable la dolce vita.

Whether you wear it in a secret spot or where all can see, your chocolate tattoo is proof that what is often forbidden is all the more beautiful when bestowed with a wink and a kiss. Even the stunning Aztec and Mayan imagery depicting the ancient art of chocolate making renders your skin a canvas of the beguiling and gives a poignant nod to the ancestors we have to thank for our bounty.

Chocolate is more than just another genre of forbidden fruit. It’s a reminder that we all deserve our indulgences from time to time, sweet tooth or not. Chocolate lovers know the finer things in life when they see them, and chocolate tattoos let the world know you won’t be giving up your own sweet sin anytime soon.

A large chocolate tattoo design done in black and grey is apparently an homage to Daphne Blake, a fictional character obsessed with chocolate in the Scooby Doo cartoon series.

This simple and generic chocolate tattoo that uses negative space seems to have been taken from a children’s textbook.

Here are some examples of realistic tattoos of popular chocolate candy brands and the fictional golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. A tattoo artist must be highly skilled in creating realism style ink to make it look like the real thing.
