You don’t have to be a native Texan to appreciate the power of beef.

A steak and a well-aged Scotch isn’t just the preferred feast of meat enthusiast Ron Swanson, but every man’s due banquet.

And while a steak tattoo may seem a bit extreme for some, the majority of admirers will no doubt understand in an instant why you celebrate your allegiance to the best cut.

Steak is the symbol of the good life, of eating well and enjoying every last bite and what’s more, sharing your bounty with your fellow sizzler kindred spirit. A steak dinner evokes the old world values of the modern-minded gentleman, a man who takes his time savoring his meal, because he knows full well that he’s earned it. And for the Western rancher who makes his living off of the cattle trade, the steak is no less than a symbol of success by way of backbreaking dedication.

Your steak tattoo is your way of saying “I’ve earned this, I deserve this, and I’m going to enjoy every last morsel.” Realistic or artistically rendered, your steak tattoo is a reminder to enjoy the finer things in life, and treat sustenance as your greatest masterpiece yet.
