Tattoos That Are Furniture-Inspired

Would You Wear Your Furniture on Your Sleeve? (Or Stomach, Or Knuckles?)
by Amy Preiser

Have trouble committing to a piece of furniture? These people certainly didn't. And we can't help but admire their design-influenced tattoos.

We don't spend much time looking at tattoos. But when we noticed Marc Jacobs' sofa tattoo and then learned that actor/prankster Andy Milonakis had a side table inked on his arm, we decided to do some research.


Who knew so many design lovers wanted to share their obsession with the world? Check out some of our favorites:


It's competing chair lovers. On the left: An Eames Wire chair tattoo. On the right, tattoo artist Nick Baxter's "More Chairs."



On the left, Natalia Fabia shows off a dramatic chandelier tattoo. On the right, a tribute to mid-century modern chairs from Butterfat Tattoos.



Going a little more highbrow, this woman shows her love for Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic glass windowpanes.y


And one very, very devoted IKEA lover makes us giggle a little. Think he gets a discount for this ink?

What do you think -- would you ever get a furniture tattoo?
