Chefs, think you’ve got one of the most unique or epic chef tattoos? Send us a picture and the story behind it or why it’s special to you to enter our Kitchen Ink Contest! There are some amazing prizes up for grabs and we will be sharing some of the best entries on our Instagram!
HOW TO ENTER
You can send in your entry using the form below (best way to ensure we see your entry) and/or post your entry to Instagram tagging @chefsroll and #KITCHENINKCONTEST. You can enter as many times as you like…have you ever met a chef with just one tattoo? The entry period is until Sept 29, 2026 and winners will be announced on October 8th. One winner will be announced on Sept 14, 2026 for the prize of the ticket to the LA Chef Conference taking place on Oct 5, 2026! Click here for the Official Contest Rules.
CATEGORIES
Depending on the types of tattoos and stories submitted we will have different categories such as
- Best story
- Most unique
- Brand loyalty
- Cutest
- Funniest
- Scariest
- Tribute (your grandma or Bourdain perhaps?)
- Heritage
- BBQ
- 🧀 Cheese (because Cheese is so damn good and Parmigiano Reggiano is a sponsor!)
PRIZES
Prizes include an entire wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano customized with your face, restaurant logo or design of your choice on it, The Super Q™ Pro by Breville Commercial, Mise en Blocks, Chef’s Roll tools and knife rolls and one of the hardest tickets to get since they seem to sell out before they even go on sale… a golden ticket to the LA Chef Conference to learn and hang out with some the best in the industry.
A little inspiration: Chef Lety McKenzie shares some of her tattoo stories with us.
