A Bacon Salt Tattoo

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Feb 10th 2009 @ 6:00PM

Several months back, I had the unique pleasure of introducing Bacon Salt and Baconnaise to some vegetarian friends at a potluck. They were floored by the bacon-y flavor of the two products and couldn't stop raving about the fact that they could now satisfy their bacon cravings without resorting to the horror that is soy bacon. By the end of the evening, Kate was on my computer ordering her own jar of Baconnaise. I sent her home with an extra shaker of the the Original Bacon Salt, to tide her over until her own supply arrived. She has not been without Bacon Salt since. Yes, it's just that good.

One Virginia couple has apparently taken their love of Bacon Salt to a new level, by getting matching tattoos announcing their devotion. I say apparently, because I don't have any links to back this up, the picture and story were sent to me by the folks at Bacon Salt (so this could turn out to be a publicity campaign).

However, having experienced Bacon Salt and Baconnaise frenzy firsthand, there remains a (hopeful) part of me that imagines that this ink just could be authentic.

I love tattoos', I took photos for a tattoo mag for seven years. No comments about the artwork, just the subject.
