Here it is pretty well healed. The colors have settled down a bit, haha. Not so intense! Still beautiful, I love it

Yeah that looks amazing. I'm getting my next one done on tuesday. My aunt is going to draw up a couple different versions of my idea and show me monday and I'll pick between them and get it done tuesday.

I love this!

I have Zeke's paw prints on my thigh, since he was not only my first dog but my first GSD (obviously )

In the future I am getting the quote from Max von Stephanitz (in my signature) added to it. Not sure how it will be incorporated exactly. Excuse the nasty closeup of my pale winter leg It's the only picture I have.




I also have the Egyptian cat goddess Bast on my lower back because I've always had a connection with cats (I am DEFINITELY a cat person), the ancient Egyptians fascinate me, and she is the protector of women

I wish I had a few paw prints of Diesel and I would have those tattoo'd on me too but the paw print that the vet got me didnt turn out so well Oh well I think her portrait is a nice memorial

That's a beautiful portrait! Some dog tattoos don't come out so well (I was originally going to get a puppy picture of Zeke tattooed but was scared of a bad one), but yours came out great!

A good idea for those paw prints, I assume yours is the impression one? Take another piece of clay and press it down into the print, then bake that one so it's actually a three dimensional paw print. Sometimes those look nicer. I make clay paws for owners all the times, and if they happen to break or crack before the owner can pick them up and obviously we can't remake them, we'll just do a backward print of the original. It's very nice for the owner, and I ALWAYS make sure paw prints look good before sending them home. I don't care if it takes mes forever to make it.

Paw prints as well, though generic, not my dogs...



I have many, many other tattoos, just not of my dogs
