Move over, mom — the hot new tattoo trend is… crypto?

Although, per Google Trends, searches for “bitcoin tattoo” peaked in late 2017 to early 2018. Around that same time, dancers at a Las Vegas strip club began accepting crypto tips via temporary tattoos. Hmm!

Bitcoin remains the front-runner today when it comes to specific tokens, raking in 1.9k average monthly Google searches compared to Dogecoin’s 700 and Ethereum’s 500.

So, what do these tats look like? Oh, a Shiba Inu here, a rocket “to the moon” there, and this very detailed bull.

But most are variations of Bitcoin’s “B” logo, including more than one featuring notorious miser Scrooge McDuck.
