A few weeks ago, I was thrilled to have my longtime friend and amazing artist, Mike DeVries, add a new tattoo piece to my skin - a happy green pear, to commemorate my addiction to the freckly, yummy fruit and to continue my vegan-themed tattoo expedition.

Because I so adore my new inked treasure, I thought it would be fun to profile some more beautiful tattooed fruit today. Don't they just make you want to indulge in a big fruit smorgasbord this weekend? I say we all should!

So until you can head to the farmer's market and pick up a basketful of deliciousness, enjoy these sweet beauties.
