Tattoo fans get a taste for patterns inspired by Pyrex

People have been showing off their skin decorations on Instagram, alongside the original Pyrex cookware.

The caprice of fashion means that getting a trendy tattoo carries the risk of being out of date within years, but some believe that they have found the solution in vintage cookware.

A collection of photographs posted on Instagram suggests that there is a yearning among tattoo enthusiasts for permanent inscriptions of designs used on Pyrex cooking dishes.

The designs, which have changed only subtly since the 1950s, have arguably lasted so long that they have attained a classic status.

The trend features birds and floral patterns as well as a collection of dishes.

The lifestyle site Real Simple noted five examples, with a further two identified by Country Living magazine. One of the most striking is a red and orange design featuring birds and flowers, which appears to have been used by Laura Exley of Damask Tattoo in Seattle, Washington. In the photograph a man is flexing his bicep while holding a matching ovenproof dish.

An Instagram user calling herself beckz-m showed off a picture of a sleeping chicken sitting in a teacup. “This is on me!” she wrote. She credited the work to Alicia E, a tattooist based in Truro, Nova Scotia, and described it as an “adorable little hen in a Pyrex teacup”.

Another photograph shows a couple who have a pair of tattoos, one featuring a Pyrex floral pattern and another who has a replica of a lidded casserole dish. The red dish was used by Jace Laface of the Charlotte Tattoo Company in North Carolina.

A woman who uses the name Tairyn Catsalot and describes herself as a “cat lady” and “fat vegetarian” from upstate New York posted an image of a basic floral pattern around her forearm that matched a small brown Pyrex bowl in her hand. “I had a moment while I was doing the dishes this morning,” she wrote.

Brittnee Coomer, who describes herself as a collector of vintage kitsch from Denver, Colorado, posted an image of her husband with a tattoo of a stack of Pyrex bowls on his bicep.
 

I thought Julie Burchill was someone different, I got her mixed up with Peasgood for some reason, but it did remind me of the pseudiest of pseudo debates on violent videogames. Thinking very much of the children are an impassioned Julie Peasgood (who incidentally voiced a pretty gruesome space survival-horror titled Martian Gothic: Unification) and a forum favourite Kelvin McKenzie.

Engross yourself in even-handed, informed debate; skilfullly managed by Alan Titchmarsh.

Laughable "debate". Think Kelvin was actually quite balanced and articulate. He makes a good point about technical progression being an issue in the future. VR/AR coupled with hyper-realism will be interesting!
