LOCK UP YOUR NANNA! People are now getting TATTOOS in the same pattern as their favourite CORNINGWARE dish

We are VERY serious! - by Amy Sinclair
  • 29 May 2019

We all know how obsessed some people can be with their CorningWare and Pyrex collections - *cough* my mum *cough*.

But did you know that some enthusiasts are now getting TATTOOS of their favourite patterns from the cookware collectables on their skin?!

LOCK UP YOUR NANNA! People are now getting TATTOOS in the same pattern as their favourite CORNINGWARE dish

With CorningWare collections now fetching up to $10,000 on eBay and Pyrex pulling in big bucks too, there’s no denying that the collector’s items are back in fashion. 

Says glass expert Dean Six: ‘Collecting is often what you remember, which is why this is big now because baby boomers are buying back what they grew up with. Boomers are decorating with these pieces in their homes.’

But now it’s not just their homes, it’s their bodies as well. Those who’ve taken the plunge into getting their favourite cookware patterns tattooed onto themselves say it’s about nostalgia. 

Becky Matheson, a tattoo artist in Nova Scotia, recently told the Los Angeles Times that she got a design of a hen sitting in a Pyrex teacup because it reminded her of her grandparents.

Another got a CorningWare pattern on her leg because it reminded her of her mum, while another got a set of flower-covered cookware bowls inked onto her arm as a reminder of when foods were cooked from scratch.

Now it seems the trend is taking off, with many more following the lead and getting CorningWare’s famous blue and white pattern tattooed on their bodies as a tribute to their grandparents and parents.

‘Every time I look at it, I think of my mum,’ said one devotee.
